What is stocking?

Stocking means that merchants, shops or suppliers prepare enough goods in advance to meet the needs of a certain period in the future in case of emergency. Before stocking, merchants need to make predictions based on historical sales data, market trends, holidays and other factors to predict future demand, and make stocking plans accordingly to replenish inventory in time. The purpose of stocking is to ensure that the purchase demand of consumers can be met during the peak demand period, and to avoid sales losses and customer dissatisfaction caused by shortage. Stocking needs to be carried out in advance after fully considering demand, inventory and other factors, so that the goods have sufficient marketability and stability, ensure adequate supply, and maximize the profits of enterprises.
