Reduce Excess & Obsolete Inventory in Industrial Distribution: What It Looks Like
Last updated July 2026
Illustrative scenario based on typical industrial distribution operations and published industry benchmarks — not a specific customer.
To reduce excess and obsolete inventory, identify slow movers and dead stock across every location, redistribute what another branch needs, and monetize the rest at fair market value. Maintained ranks every SKU by risk and value and recommends the highest-recovery action — you approve it.
The starting point
Multi-branch distributors carrying deep MRO and production-equipment catalogs, where imbalance and dead stock hide across dozens of locations. Slow movers and dead stock pile up across branches, quietly costing about a quarter of their value every year while nobody decides what to do with them.
What changes
Maintained gives one live view of what's held, what it's worth, and what to do with it. Surface slow-moving, excess, and obsolete SKUs across all branches in one view Redistribute stock to the branch that actually needs it before buying new
