Overstock on slow lines
Capital tied up in SKUs that moved well two seasons ago but now sit above the mezzanine. We map velocity tiers and set reorder triggers that reflect current outlet demand.
Wholesale demand planning · Taiwan
Stock levels that match actual shelf movement
Datagrid Base Advisory helps wholesale distributors and importers build practical demand plans — from seasonal buying calendars to replenishment cadences — so capital sits in moving goods, not idle pallets.
What we address
When purchase orders outpace what customers actually pull
Wholesale businesses in Taiwan often carry mixed assortments — fast-turn staples beside slow seasonal lines. We work with purchasing managers and warehouse leads to align buy quantities with realistic sell-through, not last year's spreadsheet alone.
Stock-outs on core items
Repeat customers calling for the same carton sizes week after week, only to hear the pick face is empty. We separate A-class runners from promotional one-offs and protect lead-time buffers accordingly.
Seasonal buying without a calendar
Lunar New Year, back-to-school, and typhoon-season prep each shift order timing. We build buying windows tied to your supplier lead times and downstream retailer schedules.
Consultations
Advisory built around wholesale operations
Each engagement starts with your actual assortment, warehouse layout, and supplier terms — not a generic template.

What purchasing leads tell us after an engagement
"We cut our slow-mover list from forty SKUs to eleven in six weeks. The diagnostic showed us which lines our southern retailers had already stopped reordering — we just hadn't updated the master sheet."— Mei-Ling H., purchasing manager, household goods distributor, Kaohsiung
"The seasonal calendar alone was worth the engagement. Our mainland supplier now gets POs six weeks earlier for CNY stock, and we stopped the last-minute air freight that was eating margin."— James W., operations director, packaged foods importer, Taoyuan
"Honest about what they couldn't fix in two days — our ERP export was a mess and they said so upfront. Still, the replenishment cadence document gave our night-shift pick team something concrete to follow."— Chen Y.-T., warehouse supervisor, stationery wholesaler, Taichung
