Flag Slow-Moving Inventory Needing Promo Support

Identify inventory sitting on your shelves before carrying costs eat your margins.

Slow-moving inventory has a compounding cost — storage fees, tied-up working capital, and eventual markdown risk all increase the longer inventory sits. PayHelm's weekly slow-mover detection task calculates sell-through rate and weeks-of-supply for every SKU, identifies those significantly below your category average, estimates the carrying cost per week, and recommends specific promotional strategies to accelerate sell-through — whether that's a bundle promotion, a price reduction, a Klaviyo flash sale, or a sponsored products boost.

Why automate this?

This task runs automatically every weekly — no dashboards to check, no manual analysis to run.

Dead-stock prevention

Catching slow movers at 8 weeks supply prevents the 20-week situation where only deep markdown clears inventory.

Working capital recovery

Each cleared slow-mover frees working capital for higher-velocity products.

Promotion matching

Recommendation matched to each product's margin — some get price drops, others get bundle promotion or ad boost.

Carrying cost visibility

Weekly carrying cost per slow-mover shown so you understand the real urgency of clearing each SKU.
