What the Owner of The Old Yew Plant Shop Needs to Work On

Despite his success from when he started until now, he still needs to work on the shop’s inventory and supply management, customer service, employee training, and pricing strategy. In terms of inventory and supply management, he should consider using basic inventory management techniques. Using barcode data collection for his pots, seeds, and plant care products is an accurate way to make it easier for him and his employees to track which items need to be replenished without manually going through their inventory. Moreover, the owner should look into demand forecasting, allowing him to identify the plants in demand in the succeeding days based on previous data. With this, he can make advance orders and will not run out of supplies during special occasions or holidays. In addition, it would help him determine his priorities using the ABC analysis. Once he identifies the plants that bring the most profit, he will always have sufficient stock for these. Lastly, the owner should consider utilizing other modern seller tools and software besides Shopify POS, such as Zoho Inventory, Quickbooks Commerce, and SellerCloud.
