How to manage inventory and logistics in eCommerce.

Hi, I have my own eCommerce site which drives huge traffic due to which I am not able to manage inventory and logistics well which turns into delayed order. Can someone give me an advice regarding the above.

You would probably be liable and would have to e-mail clients about the delay and potentially spend some money to not be seen as a terrible user experience e-commerce site. Generally, it's better to disclose delays etc ahead of time.

For a good e commerce business, being true to the client is very important for the delivery of the product. You should be specific in the informing the time of delivery or even the delay of the same.

To build an optimized inventory management system at your ecommerce business, take the following steps:

1. Understand basic product category demand.
2. Forecast future demand based on past sales.
3. Set initial minimum viable stock or minimal stock levels.
4. Prioritize products with an ABC analysis.
5. Gear up for seasonality.

If you perform the above mentioned points well you will be able to manage your ecommerce site and as well as sales.
