- Physical stock out of sync with the system
- Underestimated lead time
What a stockout is
Stockout occurs when demand for a SKU cannot be met from available stock. The result: cancelled order, lost sale, backorder or a customer moving to a competitor.
Why it matters to the board
Stockouts hit revenue (lost sale) and loyalty (unhappy customer) at once. On marketplaces, a high out-of-stock cancellation rate can lead to account suspension.
Common causes
- Reorder point or safety stock set wrong
- Physical stock out of sync with the system
- Underestimated lead time
How CRMconnect helps
CRMconnect keeps available stock (ATP) synced in real time across all channels and triggers replenishment at the reorder point, reducing stockouts and marketplace cancellations.
Πραγματικό παράδειγμα
A seller had a 3.8% cancellation rate on a marketplace due to out-of-sync stock, risking suspension. After real-time syncing through CRMconnect, the rate dropped to 0.3% in 30 days.
