Invest in summer, invest in winter: how your clothing store stops guessing seasons

The season that won't come: clothes piling up on your rack

A clothing store buys by season. But if you don't separate summer purchases from winter ones, you end up with summer dresses in January. Winter never comes, but the stock does... and generates not a peso.

Kardex Tauro: seasons with criteria

• Season-based categories: classify your products with categories like 'Summer', 'Winter' or 'All'. The system filters and reports on each.
• Rotation by category: the Sales by Category Report shows you which season was selling and which wasn't. You buy less of what doesn't move.
• Performance alert: Kardex flags in red the categories that have been on the rack for over 90 days. It's your liquidation signal.

The smart store rule

Don't buy the same way in every season. Use categories to measure, buy and sell. A store that separates clothes by season wins; one that doesn't pays for the winter that never arrives.
