01
Low-Value Density = High Warehousing and Fulfillment Costs Relative to Merchandise ValueAn item's dollar value relative to its weight and space occupied determines its value density. Low value density big & bulky have an increased need for cost efficient storage and fulfillment solutions.
02
Non-Standardized Products = Complex Inventory ManagementProducts come in various sizes, colors, and styles, creating a long-tail effect and wide range of niche Items. The unpredictability of demand can lead to challenges in inventory management that result in over- or under-stocking.
03
Fragmented Industry = More CompetitionThe large number of resellers creates intense price competition, which can squeeze profit margins and make it challenging for retailers to remain profitable.

REDUCE INVENTORY RISK
GIGACLOUD'S POOLING EFFECT
Traditionally, retailers purchase inventory based on sales forecasts, which can lead to excess stock if demand falls short or missed opportunities if demand exceeds expectations.
In SFR, inventory is accessible to a broad network of resellers rather than being tied to a single retailer’s projections. This collective pooling helps mitigate demand fluctuations, and as the network grows, variations are further balanced, reducing concentrated risk for any single supplier.
