Stale inventory is killing dealer working capital.
Every dealer has the same back-shelf problem: fast-moving parts fly off the shelf, but a real slice of every order sits. Then it ages. Then it dies.
Roughly one out of every five parts on a dealer's shelf is slow-moving or stale at any given time.
Meanwhile, consumers moved online — and online-only retailers built massive distribution footprints to serve them. The revenue that used to cross the parts counter now flows somewhere else entirely, while the stock that could have filled those orders sits unsold in a warehouse two states away from the customer who wanted it.
The inventory exists. The demand exists. The problem is simply that no one has ever built the connection between them.
