Inventory Management FAQs: Answers to some of the typcial questions for inventory management services

What are inventory management services?

Inventory management is a warehouse operations process that involves the flow of items from the manufacturer to another location or final customer.

What are the elements involved in Whistl's inventory management?

As part of Whistl's outsourced fulfilment services, inventory management is more than storing business products or items. It includes:

  • The stock selection process, including picking and packing products and items. 
  • Rigorous auditing procedures of cycle counting.
  • Complete stock management optimisation and reporting.

These inventory processes inform our brands and businesses of the volumes of their stock lines and revenue opportunities.

How does Whistl handle discrepancies between online stock levels and actual inventory?

Whistl's warehouse management systems are in place to report real-time inventory. Our inventory management support ensures items are scanned at each touchpoint to help your business maintain tighter stock controls, minimising the probability of understocking saleable items against your forecasts, avoiding customer frustration, and overstocking low sales volumes, which can lead to a loss of profitability. Explore our comprehensive inventory management guide.

Can you integrate with our return management platform?

Yes, we can work with multiple return platforms for integrations. Speak to us to discuss which platform you use, so we can ensure complete visibility of your inventory, including items that are due to return to stock.
