The best-performing vape shops in the UK follow three stock rotation rules. First, they use FIFO (first in, first out) strictly: the oldest stock goes out first, physically placed at the front of the shelf. Second, they track every batch by receipt date, not by purchase order number, so the actual age on shelf is visible. Third, they run a 90-day review: any SKU that hasn't sold through within 90 days gets a promotion or clearance.
Shops that follow these rules report expiry losses under £500 per year. Shops that don't track batch age report £1,500-£3,000 in write-offs annually.
TrackElf automates all three steps: it records every batch date, colours items by age, and flags slow-moving stock before it expires.
