Managing Perishable Good Relationships

I’ve been grappling with how to manage my inventory of perishable goods. It’s a fine balance between ordering enough to meet demand and not overstocking. Building strong relationships with my vendors has helped, but I’m curious about strategies others use to minimize waste and maximize freshness.

And one thing that’s worked for me is setting up a straightforward inventory tracking system based on sales trends. It helps me predict demand more accurately and order just the right amount without overstocking. Plus, maintaining a good communication line with my vendors ensures I can adjust quickly if something’s not moving as expected.
