5 inventory reports every manager should run

Inventory is where cash hides. These five reports turn raw stock data into decisions.

1. Stock on hand — what you have, where, right now.
2. Slow movers — items tying up cash that should go on offer.
3. Low stock / reorder — never run out of best-sellers again.
4. Stock movements — the audit trail of every in and out.
5. Valuation — the true cost value of your warehouse.

Run them on a schedule, export to PDF or Excel, and review the trends weekly. Small adjustments compound into healthier margins.
