In short

How do I find slow-moving stock and plan markdowns in GoFrugal?

Every Monday, WebRun opens GoFrugal, measures sell-through and days-of-cover for every SKU, and finds the slow movers tying up cash and shelf space. It builds a Google Sheet that ranks them by stuck value with a suggested markdown for each, so you can clear ageing stock before it costs you more.

  • Cash-draining slow movers surfaced every week
  • Markdowns ranked by the stock value they free
  • Ageing stock cleared before it becomes dead stock

Questions, answered

Does WebRun change any prices in GoFrugal?

No. WebRun only suggests a markdown in Google Sheets and leaves the decision to you. No price is changed in GoFrugal until you apply it yourself, so nothing is discounted without your approval.

How does it decide something is slow-moving?

It compares each SKU's recent sell-through against how many days of stock you hold, then keeps items with low movement, high days-of-cover, and enough value to matter, so you focus on the stock that ties up real cash.

Can I set my own markdown rules?

Yes. Tell WebRun your discount bands or a target days-of-cover and it will suggest markdowns to match, then leave every figure editable in the sheet before you act.

Put this on autopilot.
