Leaving Revenue on the Table by Underselling?
Every unit in your warehouse should be available to sell. When it’s not, you’re missing out on potential sales. Descartes Peoplevox makes sure every item that’s physically in stock is live online, so you never leave money on the shelf.
Why Underselling Happens?
Underselling happens when your warehouse has stock available, but your systems don’t show it online. Without real-time visibility and syncing, products get stuck offline, appear ‘out of stock’ on your sales channels and customers slip away.
Common causes:
Returned items aren’t relisted
Marketplaces or storefronts aren’t updated as new stock is received
No alerts when pick bins run empty
Manual workflows miss relisting steps
Long ramp-up times for temporary staff
The Real Cost of Underselling Inventory
If a product is not listed online, it cannot sell. Missed sales build quietly over time, and the impact can be severe during peak season or when launching new product lines.
Underselling can also:
- Slow inventory turnover
- Increase holding costs
- Lower marketplace rankings
- Keep valuable stock idle
