Benchmark your dead stock levels for confident inventory management

Dead stock is one of the biggest hidden drains on inventory performance. Slow-moving or obsolete items quietly tie up working capital, take up valuable warehouse space, and often lead to reactive discounting that erodes margin. Without clear visibility into aging inventory, many businesses underestimate how much stock is sitting idle.

Modern inventory management demands more. Teams need clear benchmarks, accurate aging data, and connected systems to identify slow-moving products early and take action before inventory becomes obsolete.

This 2-page benchmarking guide helps you understand how much dead stock your business may be carrying and how your exposure compares to the wider distribution industry.

You’ll learn:

• what dead stock is and why it creates hidden financial risk
• how to calculate and track dead stock percentage using inventory and sales data
• industry benchmarks showing how much dead stock distributors typically carry
• how better visibility helps teams reduce inventory leakage and protect margins
