Your inventory
is capital. See where it needs attention.

Inventory intelligence for retail chain leaders. Understand where capital is concentrated, how products age and which stores and categories deserve a closer look.

Balances show how much exists. Age helps reveal what needs attention.

Illustrative chart: each category holds BRL 100,000 in inventory. In A, 70% of the value is up to 60 days old, 20% is 61–180 days and 10% is more than 180 days. In B, the respective shares are 20%, 25% and 55%.
Fictitious example: the same capital can have different age compositions. Percentages represent inventory value, not unit quantities.

When a discussion focuses only on total inventory value, different situations can look alike. Capital concentrated in recently received products has a different context from the same amount spread across older receipt layers.

Retail leaders need to go further: which categories and locations concentrate the capital? How is that inventory aging? Which products warrant a closer investigation before the next purchasing or assortment decision?

From the retail chain view to the product behind the indicator

Diagram: select an authorized location scope, then explore the catalogue from Department to Category, Subcategory, Family and SKU. Location and catalogue are distinct dimensions.
From location scope to catalogue details: investigate the product behind an indicator and check its reference date.

MERO Clear brings together inventory capital and aging indicators to guide that investigation. Explore the catalogue by department, category, subcategory and family, then drill down to the SKU. Location views put each result in the context of the operation.

This path gives teams a shared basis for discussing priorities: the indicator, its reference date and the data behind it. Analysis complements your team’s commercial knowledge; purchasing, promotional and redistribution decisions remain with your operation.

The same inventory value can hide different situations

Imagine two categories with similar inventory values. One mostly contains recent receipts; the other has a larger share of older layers. The financial total alone does not reveal that difference.

This is an illustrative example. With your operational data, combining capital and inventory age helps frame more specific questions, compare relevant scopes and decide where to investigate further. It is not a financial return promise or an automatic action recommendation.

Questions retail chain leaders often ask

Does MERO replace our ERP? The purpose is to provide a layer of product and inventory analysis. Data sources and integration paths depend on the scenario; operational files are not uploaded through this website.

Are the indicators real time? Read them alongside their reference date and the data updates available in the application. A historical inventory position should not be interpreted as a live stock balance.

Can we start with part of the chain? The evaluation scope can be discussed when preparing a POC, considering locations, catalogue and available data. Start with clear questions and a defined scope.
