Small wholesalers lack a practical method to identify slow-moving or dead inventory in their spreadsheets or QuickBooks, leading to cash tied up in unsold stock.
QuickBooks and Excel lack built-in analytics for automatically flagging slow-moving or dead inventory, requiring manual analysis or custom reports that many small businesses don't have time to build.
