Purpose and Objective

Maintaining accurate stock records across all product listings on the SayPro website is critical to ensuring seamless operations, enhancing customer experience, and improving sales performance. In this April edition of the SayPro Monthly Inventory Management series (SCMR-17), the SayPro Online Marketplace Office outlines updated procedures, system features, and accountability frameworks to guarantee real-time, accurate stock information across all digital storefronts.

Why Stock Accuracy Matters

Accurate stock records directly influence:

• Customer Satisfaction: Prevents order cancellations due to unavailability.
• Sales Opportunities: Ensures in-demand items are visible and purchasable.
• Vendor Credibility: Builds trust with customers and reduces returns.
• Operational Efficiency: Minimizes manual corrections and backlogs.
• Analytics Integrity: Ensures that sales forecasting and replenishment models are based on reliable data.

Core Components of SayPro’s Stock Accuracy System

1. Real-Time Synchronization with Central Inventory Database

• Every product listing on the SayPro website is dynamically linked to the central inventory database.
• Updates occur automatically every 10 minutes to reflect incoming stock, order fulfilment, returns, and manual adjustments.

2. SKU Integrity Management

• All products are assigned unique SayPro SKUs.
• Duplicate or mislinked SKUs are flagged by the system’s AI validation layer.
• Vendors are required to verify SKU-to-product mapping before publishing listings.

3. Multi-Warehouse Coordination

• Stock levels are aggregated across SayPro warehouses and partner fulfillment centers.
• Product listings show “Available to Ship” units based on fulfillment location priority and delivery region.

4. Auto-Update Stock on Order Actions

• Once an order is placed, the available quantity is instantly updated to prevent overselling.
• Canceled or returned orders trigger restocking processes with inspection and system re-entry verification.

Stock Accuracy Maintenance Processes

A. Daily Inventory Reconciliation

• All vendors must perform an end-of-day stock review.
• A system-generated summary is emailed with discrepancies (if any) requiring resolution before 10 AM the next day.

B. Weekly Product Listing Audit

• Listings are checked for mismatch between declared and actual stock levels.
• SayPro’s system highlights inactive, overstocked, or zero-stock items for vendor action.

C. System Alerts and Notifications

• Red Alerts: Critical stockout on high-demand items.
• Yellow Alerts: Listing shows “in stock” but actual quantity is 0.
• Blue Alerts: Inventory holding for more than 90 days.

D. Vendor Compliance Checks

• Vendors failing to update stock for more than 3 days will have affected products auto-hidden.
• Repeat violations can lead to a 14-day suspension under SCMR enforcement policy.
