Buying at low cost is one thing, buy low quantities is another...

When you buy in low quantities and maximize your inventory turnover the increase to cash flow can be quite remarkable. For example, it's not uncommon for retail leaders to turn over their inventory 1.25 to 1.5 more times per year than their industry's average. Given that, when a store with $50,000 inventory increases turnover from 4 to 5 times per year the process will put an extra $10,000 in the bank even if there is no change in sales. Imagine what you could do with an extra 10K in cash:
 

•Add new items (opportunities) to your inventory.

•Buy in larger quantities, Acme will help you do it but only when the price break warrants.

•Increase marketing efforts and bring in more customers.

•Hold a sales contest to reward staff, increasing morale and productivity.

•Add staff, take a vacation or?!?
 

Low cost and low quantity buying go hand in hand. But we all know vendors tend to reward high quantity purchases with lower cost. Acme helps you factor both aspects into your purchasing decisions so you are never over stocked. Knowledge is power and Acme gives you the tools you need to optimize purchasing, saving both time and money.
