How to Reduce Lost Bridal Inventory

Most “lost” bridal inventory is not stolen. It is out on a booking nobody can find, sitting In washing unlabeled, or delivered without a challan so accessories never re-enter the set.

Root causes

• No related-orders view on the product
• Dispatch without delivery challan
• Returns not moved into washing status
• Disputed overdue ignored until the next bride asks
• Lookalike SKUs without photos/size clarity

Solutions that reduce loss

1. Every active piece coded with photo, color, size.
2. Before panic-searching the godown, open related orders and Availability overlap.
3. Challan on every multi-item dispatch.
4. Return day ends with washing status set.
5. Weekly Disputed review with deposit hold when still out.
6. Deactivate pieces under long repair so staff stop “finding” ghosts in search.
