Why did a company delete 5,000 products and make more money? 🤔
A wholesale retail company carried 8,000 SKUs. 📦
On paper, more products seemed like a strength.
But when they looked closer, they found that most of those SKUs generated very little sales.
The result? 📉
Thousands of products were consuming attention, inventory, and working capital without contributing much to the bottom line.
So, they made a bold decision.
They reduced their product range from 8,000 SKUs to 3,000. ✂️
- Cash flow improved.
- Margins improved.
- Business became easier to manage.
💡 The lesson is simple:
Growth isn't always about adding more.
Sometimes the biggest gains come from removing what isn't working.
Every SKU has a cost. The question is whether it's earning its place.
