4. Sell-Through Performance & OTB Implications

Sell-through of 73.7% sits within target range — however, average stock cover of 132 days is more than double the 45–60 day optimal. The buying quantum is too high. Reducing next season OTB by 20–30% will improve turns and free approximately $30K per month in carrying costs.

7. Store Performance Dispersion

All 6 stores are above the India Apparel GMROI benchmark of 2.0×. The portfolio GMROI gap is driven by inventory weight — not store-level failure. The corrective lever is OTB reduction at the buying desk, not store operations.

Priority Action Plan
URGENT
Pause OTB on 57 excess SKUs. Cover exceeds 120 days. Releasing this budget improves turns by 15–25%.
Impact: Free OTB budget · Timeline: This week
HIGH
Seasonal Clearance — 12 SKUs, $450K inventory. Markdown at 20–40% off MRP recovers 65–75% of cost.
Impact: Recover ~$315K · Timeline: Within 30 days
MEDIUM
Lehengas — only category above GMROI benchmark (2.02×). Prioritise OTB here next season.
Impact: Defend highest-margin category · Timeline: Next buying cycle

Why This Works

Your ERP tells you what happened. This tells you what to do about it.

Most inventory tools produce data. This produces decisions. Here's the difference.

Capability ERP Reports Spreadsheets ASP Audit
SKU-level action signals
Capital recovery estimate in dollars
GMROI benchmarked against your market
Ranked priority action plan
No software installation or ERP access
Consultant-written narrative findings
Works from a simple Excel export Needs ERP access
Ready in 48 hours, not months Ongoing subscription Manual, no benchmark

This is not a dashboard. This is a decision document. It tells you which SKUs to liquidate, where your capital is trapped, and what to do first — with the monetary value of each action quantified.

Engagements Welcome

Over 12 years working inside major Indian retail organisations — across fashion, grocery, consumer durables, and multi-format chains — building the inventory management and analytics capability that most mid-market retailers don't have the resources to develop in-house.

The ASP Inventory Intelligence audit is the structured methodology developed over those years — the same analytical framework applied to client data, with expert interpretation, delivered as a complete package rather than a platform subscription.

Every audit is personally conducted. No team, no offshore processing, no automated report.

Common Questions

Things people ask before enquiring.

What data do I need to provide?
Four data exports from your ERP or inventory system: Opening Stock, Purchase Data, Sales Data, and Closing Stock, all at SKU level, covering the period you want to audit. We provide a structured Excel template. If your system can export to Excel or CSV, you have everything needed.
How is this different from the reports my ERP already produces?
ERP reports show you what happened: quantities, values, movements. This audit tells you what to do about it. Which specific SKUs to liquidate, which stores need assortment changes, where your capital is being consumed without return. That interpretation layer is what no ERP produces on its own.
Is my data safe? Who sees it?
Your data is processed locally by your consultant and is not uploaded to any cloud platform or third-party analytics service. Only the consultant working on your engagement sees the raw data. All output files are marked confidential. Full details are in the Terms of Engagement.
What if my data has errors or is incomplete?
Real-world data is rarely perfect. The audit engine handles common data quality issues — partial records, missing rows, duplicate entries, and standard ERP export formats. Any significant data quality issues that affect findings will be flagged clearly in the report.
How long does the audit take?
Turnaround depends on the volume and complexity of your data, and on how quickly the completed template is returned. Most engagements are completed within a few business days of receiving clean data. We will give you a specific timeline when we confirm your enquiry.
Do you work with businesses outside India?
Yes. The methodology is format- and geography-agnostic. Engagements are conducted entirely remotely — data exchange by email or secure file transfer, debrief by video call. Invoicing is available in multiple currencies including USD, AED, GBP, SGD, and EUR.
Are the findings guaranteed to be accurate?
The accuracy of all findings depends entirely on the accuracy of the data provided. The audit is advisory and directional. It provides an analytical view based on the data you submit, with expert interpretation. All findings should be considered alongside your operational knowledge before any decisions are made.
How do I pay?
Pricing is discussed and confirmed personally after we review your enquiry, based on scope, scale, and geography. Payment is by bank transfer, UPI (India), or international wire. A formal invoice is issued for every engagement.
