The core formula for wholesalers: how to use transparent acrylic board procurement strategy to free up cash flow
The secret to successful wholesale business lies in inventory turnover rate. When you constantly search for "wholesale price of transparent acrylic board", the real goal should not be just lower unit price, but higher capital return rate. The accumulated inventory is frozen cash. This article will share a simple strategic framework to help you redesign your procurement model, freeing up funds from warehouses for business growth while ensuring that customers have access to the products they need at all times.
Do not use the same purchasing frequency and batch size for all SKUs. Based on sales data, divide your transparent board requirements into three layers:
Class A (Fast Moving Star): A few standard specifications that account for 70% of your sales (such as 4'x8 ', 1/4 "thick, transparent). For these, we recommend establishing long-term rolling forecasts and adopting the" Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) "model or agreeing on quarterly pricing. We can hold safety stock for you in China or our cooperating overseas warehouses in the United States, and you can pick up the goods on a weekly or monthly basis. This ensures supply and locks in optimal costs.
Class B (Stable Demand Products): Standard products for regular sales. Adopting the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for procurement, balancing order costs and holding costs. We can provide purchasing quantity analysis recommendations based on historical data.
Class C (long tail/customized products): Special sizes or thicknesses that are not commonly sold. We provide fast response on-demand production services for this, although the unit price is slightly higher, you have achieved "zero inventory" and completely released funds. The key is to know which products belong to this category.
The space of a shipping container is money. Many wholesalers place scattered orders for different products and pay multiple higher LCL (Less than Container Load) fees.
Our collaborative optimization service: You can integrate the requirements of A, B, and C products to form a "hybrid container". Our logistics experts will help you optimize the loading plan and maximize the use of space in each container. By merging multiple small orders into FCL shipping, you can reduce unit logistics costs by up to 40%. This savings will be directly converted into profits.
Our role can go beyond production. Based on industry data, we can provide you with:
