Effective inventory management is the backbone of any successful e-commerce
operation, especially for a specialized retailer like Glacier Outfitters. We
deal with a wide range of products, from small carabiners to bulky four-season
tents, each with its own storage and handling requirements.

**Stock Keeping Units (SKUs):** Every unique product variant—including size,
color, and technical specification—is assigned a distinct SKU. This level of
granularity is essential for accurate order fulfillment and prevents common
errors, such as shipping a medium-sized technical shell when a large was
ordered.

**First-In, First-Out (FIFO):** While most of our hardware doesn't expire, soft
goods like freeze-dried meals, technical detergents, and certain adhesives
have limited shelf lives. We employ the FIFO method to ensure the oldest stock
is shipped first, maintaining the integrity and safety of the equipment our
customers rely on in the field.

**Safety Stock:** To mitigate the risks of supply chain disruptions or sudden
surges in demand, we maintain a buffer of safety stock for our most popular
"core" items, such as base layers and fundamental climbing hardware. This
ensures we can continue to fulfill orders even if a restock is delayed.

**Inventory Tracking:** Our digital inventory management system provides real-
time visibility into stock levels across multiple warehouse locations. Every
item movement—from receiving and put-away to picking and shipping—must be
scanned and recorded to maintain the accuracy of this data.
