Hose stock just sitting
See which hose coils and fitting threads aren’t moving before you reorder that size.
Sound familiar?
A coil of hose bought for one machine is still on the rack after the repair shipped.
You reorder a fitting thread because the bin looks light, and a full box of that thread is in the crimp room.
Two end styles for the same hose size sit side by side, and only one gets crimped.
How I find it
Sales history by hose size and end style, so a sitting coil is not hidden inside a size.
Purchases, including the coil that was cut for one repair and never got a second buyer.
Your accounting system, so the rack and the books can be talked about on the same call.
What the system does
It watches hose and fitting sales and purchases 24/7 and pings you when a coil or a thread isn’t moving. It does not move the stock. You decide whether to hold the next buy.
SampleThe JIC ends for that hose size aren’t moving. The last purchase was a box for one repair. Hold the next buy.
You decide
You decide what to hold, what to offer a shop that can use that thread, and what to leave on the rack.
Questions
Is this the same as a slow week?
No. A slow week hits the shop. This is one coil or thread sitting while other hose sizes still leave.
Will it tell me to scrap the coil?
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 coils that have not had a second buyer.
