New solutions

An inspector came to Kotofey. So you can safely call the new address storage system, which was recently introduced in the warehouse of the Egorievsk Obuv factory and allowed for a complete inventory of product residues.

Previously, due to the lack of structured storage space, this operation was almost impossible. As a result, illiquid positions and irregularities were identified. Today, thanks to IT-transformations that began a year ago, these products are offered to the attention of buyers of children's shoes in bulk in the sections “Re-sorting” and “Special Offers” on the website of TM “Kotofey”. The markdown will free up storage space from non-distribution and illiquid assets and return substantial amounts to the manufacturer’s turnover. Owners of retail stores, in turn, get the opportunity to purchase goods at reduced prices.

“This step of the management of Yegoryevsk Obuv is revolutionary, since previously the factory rarely fought against illiquid assets through markdowns. We hope that with the introduction of targeted storage in the warehouse, activities in this direction will become systematic, daily and only highly liquid goods will be offered to the market. As for the non-growth, the sale of shoes for one pair leads to higher costs, stretches the terms of sale of products for years. Instead of trading “one pair at a time”, it would be more efficient to equip a nesting in full-fledged assorted boxes, assign them barcodes, set a market price and publish them in the “Special Offers” section. Such an approach will allow you to get rid of nesting in record time, as distributors with the minimum shipping rate equal to one box can become an additional sales channel, ”said Alexander Borodin, manager of Mila - wholesale shoes.
