You wouldn't want to keep your customers waiting for a product or finding out you don't have some products. So how do you avoid this

You need to keep a tab on your products remaining statistics to avoid stockouts.

Take inventory stock frequently to know the ones to restock immediately

Have your supplier phone number handy to order for more stocks as soon as possible. you need to build strong supplier relationships. ..

For me I think the low inventory in the business might be caused by a couple number of reasons.
The major reason being lack of adequate capital to fund the business.

I will set up also an online store and order for them the specific product needed and deliver by a dispatch rider and Proper planning is crucial to delivering early Before dispatching a driver, make sure you have all the information needed to plan the most efficient route possible.

Low inventory is something which I faced in my general store and seen it's practical result, as how customer show their anger and leave the shop plus they say others as not to go there, they have low inventory, required items are not there. So we need to keep maintain the inventory.

To avoid low inventory in business, it is important to accurately forecast demand and plan accordingly. Monitor stock levels regularly and adjust orders when necessary. build relationships with suppliers so that you can quickly restock if needed.

To avoid low inventory, you need to take inventory stock regularly and have good relationship with suppliers. However, in circumstances like panic buying of certain products, there is nothing you can do. A recent example was the high demand for masks when Covid was widely spread.

I solved that problem years ago. I simply don't sell anything tangible, so my inventory is always zero and can't go any lower. If I do decide to sell anything, it will be a digital product that is simple to restock every time I sell one by copying a file.

Lack of funding may be the major reason for the low inventory. A serious business owner must be aware of the happenings in his business. He should keep account of what he have per time. If he can not be able to do it, he better employ a reliable manager that can forsee the happening in the company.

You have a point here. If the company is well-funded, then there is no problem having the issue of low inventory. It means the company can able to restock the products needed for the demand of the clients in the market.

It is true that if there is enough capital for the business then the issue of low inventory wouldn't occure.

But even when there is enough funds, businesses can still have low inventory if it is not managed and monitored effectively. You can use automated inventory management systems to track and decide when to restock.

Frankly speaking the businessmen can avoid the lack of the inventory on their business by having a set up aside some reserved amount of capital to boost the business the original business.

The worst thing that can happen to any business is when customers come with their money to buy something and it is out of stock. You need to have a dedicated stores manager to run the inventory.
