Inventory is a balancing act: too little and you miss orders, too much and your cash is stuck on shelves. Good inventory management keeps you ready to produce while protecting your cash flow.
What to Stock
- •Best-selling blanks in popular colors and sizes
- •A core thread palette covering common requests
- •Stabilizer in your most-used weights
- •Bobbins, needles, and backing
- •Packaging and shipping supplies
Set Par Levels
For each core item, set a minimum quantity that triggers a reorder. Par levels prevent both stockouts and panic buying, and they make ordering a quick, routine task.
Order Blanks Per Job for Custom Work
For one-off custom orders, buy blanks per job rather than stocking everything. Reserve your standing inventory for proven best-sellers.
Track What Sells
Review which products and colors actually move. Drop slow items and double down on winners so your inventory dollars work as hard as possible.
