the flow behind the aisle ✨
In busy stores, topstock plays an even bigger role because products move fast from both in‑person shoppers and online pickup orders. Topstock is the extra product kept on the high shelves so workers can refill quickly without waiting on the backroom. When a store has heavy foot traffic and a lot of online orders, items sell down faster, so having organized topstock helps keep shelves full and reduces delays. Inventory counting ties into this by making sure the store knows exactly how much product is on the shelf, in topstock, and in the back. Accurate counts help the store order the right amount, avoid empty spots, and keep up with the fast pace of a high‑traffic environment.
