Excess Inventory
Excess inventory, triaged and disposed of by rule.
We encode your disposal rules — last-sale and last-receipt evidence, vendor return windows, markdown-vs-return — inside the POS/ERP your stores already run.

The untouched pile
Everyone can see the pile. Nobody owns the decision.
From hardware and building-supply retailers we have worked inside: 19–22-store operations on Epicor Eagle-class POS/ERP, where dead and discontinued stock sits untouched because no one triages it.
Product no one will buy, store after store
“Stores filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars of product no one will buy.” Dead and discontinued inventory sits untouched because no one triages it.
Special orders never picked up
“Special-order items never picked up, invisible and unsellable.” End-of-life and special-order stock disappears in the POS, and the 30-day vendor return window closes before anyone flags it.
Markdowns nobody verified
“$740K of markdown inventory stuck at 90% off and nobody verified the tags ever got hung.” Markdown approved; markdown compliance, the price reaching the shelf, never checked.
Discontinuing blind
“I’m committing to leaving a shelf space empty with no work done to understand the impact.” Items discontinued with no last-receipt or last-sale data attached.
Purge alerts without an audit trail
“Dead and slow-moving SKUs for purge alerts.” Operators want dead-inventory flags for store hygiene — and every system change logged for audit, not a spreadsheet someone edited.
What manual costs
The pile compounds while the window closes.
Measured inside multi-store hardware retail operations. Your numbers will differ — the triage audit puts figures on one store and one category before anything gets built.

How it works
We encode your disposal rules.
No new system for your buyers to learn. The rules your best merchant carries in their head become the triage every flagged SKU goes through.
- 01
Triage audit
One store, one category. We quantify the excess — last-sale and last-receipt evidence per SKU, special orders never picked up — before anything changes.
- 02
Encode the disposal rules
Markdown-vs-return per SKU, vendor return windows with days-left flags, special-order sweeps, purge alerts with an audit trail — encoded inside the POS/ERP you already run.
- 03
Exception-only queue
The rules mark down, return, or write off with the reason logged. Buyers see only what the rules can’t dispose of — a short queue, not the pile.
A liquidation marketplace moves the pile once. It can’t stop the next one.
The software sells another report of the pile: the same dead SKUs every Monday, none disposed of. Tools ship with generic rules; your stores run on exceptions — $50 markdown thresholds, 30-day vendor return windows.
We are neither. We encode your disposal rules into the systems your stores already run — our AI reads every flagged SKU against those rules — so the pile drains on a schedule and the next one never forms.
