This workflow automatically tracks inventory aging, identifies slow-moving items, and triggers rotation or markdown decisions to optimize sales floor space and maximize revenue from donated goods.
Item reaches 30 days on sales floor without sale
Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.
Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.
System identifies items that have been on the sales floor for 30 days without being sold. Vend POS tracks item entry dates and sales status automatically.
Retrieve detailed sales history, category performance, and pricing data for the aging items. System also checks similar item turnover rates in the same category.
Determine if items should be marked down, moved to different store location, or removed from floor based on category performance and profit margins. High-value items get different treatment than low-value items.
Apply markdown pricing for selected items or flag items for physical relocation to higher-traffic areas. Price changes are automatically synced across all systems.
Create work orders for staff to physically move items or apply new price tags. Include specific location recommendations and handling instructions for fragile items.
Record all changes in inventory management system and generate reports showing rotation actions taken. Staff receive notifications about items requiring immediate attention.
