Bearing stock just sitting
See which housings, inserts, and seals aren’t moving before you reorder that bore.
Sound familiar?
A housing bought for a rebuild is still on the shelf after the machine went back.
You reorder the insert because the label looks low, and a full carton of that bore is one shelf over.
Sealed and open versions of the same bore sit together, and only one leaves.
How I find it
Sales history by housing, insert, and seal, so a sitting carton is not hidden inside a bore.
Purchases, including the carton that arrived for one rebuild and never got a second buyer.
Your accounting system, so the shelf and the books can be talked about on the same call.
What the system does
It watches bearing sales and purchases 24/7 and pings you when a housing or insert isn’t moving. It does not move the stock. You decide whether to hold the next buy.
SampleThe sealed insert for that bore isn’t moving. The last purchase was a carton for one rebuild. Hold the next buy.
You decide
You decide what to hold, what to offer a shop that can use that seal, and what to leave on the shelf.
Questions
Is this the same as a slow week?
No. A slow week hits the shop. This is one housing or seal sitting while other bores still leave.
Will it tell me to dump the carton?
No. It pings you that it isn’t moving. You decide what to do with it.
What do you look at first?
Sales history and purchases for the housings that have not had a second buyer.
