Ek retail shop ya wholesale business chalane wale se behtar ye koi nahi jaanta ki "Stock hi sab kuch hai." Agar shop mein sahi time par sahi maal hai, toh laxmi ji daudi chali aati hain. Lekin agar stock ka hisab gadbadaya, toh ache-bhale chalte dhandhe ko doobte der nahi lagti.
Kayi baar kya hota hai? Aap wholesale market jate hain aur sochte hain, "Chalo ye item sasta mil raha hai, 5 petiyan utha leta hoon." Lekin dukaan par aane ke baad pata chalta hai ki us item ko koi pooch hi nahi raha. Do mahine baad wo maal dust khata hai aur aapka cash block ho jata hai. Isse hum kehte hain Dead Stock.
Dusri taraf, koi customer ek product maangne aata hai aur aap bolte hain—"Arre bhaiya, ye toh kal hi khatam ho gaya, parso aana." Aur wo 'parso' kabhi nahi aata, kyunki customer aapke baju wali dukaan se maal le leta hai. Yaani dono hi tarike se nuksaan aapka hi hai.
Toh is problem se kaise bachein? Kaise pata karein ki kaunsa maal kab mangwana hai aur kaunsa nahi? Chaliye aaj baat karte hain bilkul practical dhandhe ki baatein.
---Indian Retailers Aur Wholesalers Ki Stock Ki 3 Badi Pareshaniyan
Agar aap abhi bhi haath se register par ya fir mahine ke aakhiri mein poori dukaan band karke stock counting (Auditing) karte hain, toh aap in dikkaton se roz guzarte honge:
1. Expiry Aur Damage Ka Pata Na Chalna
FMCG, grocery, ya cosmetics ke dhandhe mein products ki ek expiry date hoti hai. Manual system mein kai baar jo maal pehle aaya tha (Old Stock), wo peeche chupa reh jata hai aur naya maal aage bik jata hai. Baad mein pata chalta hai ki hazaron ka maal expire ho chuka hai aur use phekna padta hai.
2. Chori Ya Mismanagement (Stock Leakage)
Jab dukaan badi ho ya counter par staff baithta ho, toh bina computer track ke ye dhyan rakhna namumkin hai ki kitna maal aaya aur kitna bika. Thoda-thoda karke agar maal gayab hota rahe, toh mahine ke end mein bada jhatka lagta hai.
3. "Kiska Rate Kya Tha?" Ki Confusion
Wholesale mein rate har hafte badalte hain. Aaj koi item 50 rupaye mein aaya, agle hafte wahi 52 ka ho gaya. Agar aapke paas batch tracking nahi hai, toh aap purana maal saste mein ya naya maal galat margin par bech dete hain, jisse seedha aapka profit kam hota hai.
