Identify Low-Performing & Slow-Moving Products
Slow-moving inventory ties up capital and warehouse space. Alfred provides multiple analysis frameworks — ABC-XYZ, FSN, STR, GMROI, and Growth classification — to help you identify products that need attention. You can save analyses as custom views for regular review.
Option 1: Use Product Performance frameworks
RecommendedGo to Product Planner from the left navigation.
Click the 'Product Performance' tab.
Select the 'FSN' (Fast / Slow / Non-moving) framework from the analysis dropdown.
Review the classification: Non-moving products (N) with inventory on hand are your deadstock candidates.
Adjust the FSN thresholds if needed (click the gear icon) — set the velocity cutoffs that make sense for your business.
Switch to 'ABC-XYZ' to see a two-dimensional view: CZ products (low revenue, erratic demand) are the strongest candidates for markdown or discontinuation.
Save your analysis as a custom view (e.g., 'Deadstock Review') for quick access next time.
Export the results to CSV for sharing with your team or for markdown planning.
Option 2: Quick check via Inventory Snapshot
Go to Product Planner → Inventory Snapshot tab.
Sort the table by 'Vel/Day' (velocity per day) ascending — products with 0 velocity and inventory on hand are not selling.
Cross-reference with Weeks of Supply — products with high WOS (12+ weeks) are overstocked relative to demand.
Filter by product type or collection to focus on specific categories.
Pro Tips
- 💡Review slow movers monthly — set a calendar reminder or create an inventory alert for overstock conditions.
- 💡The 'Slowest Sellers' card on the Dashboard gives you a quick daily view of your bottom performers.
- 💡Use the Growth classification to distinguish between truly declining products (mark down) vs. seasonally slow products (hold for the right season).
- 💡Before marking a product for discontinuation, check the Sales History tab for any recent uptick that might signal a recovery.
