Make more informed inventory decisions with ABC analysis

We’ve added a new inventory report to Shopify - ABC analysis by product. This report can be used to identify your best and worst performing inventory over the past 28 days.

A grade is your best performing inventory and represents the specific inventory that accounts for 80% of your revenue.

B grade is your middle of the road inventory and represents the specific inventory that accounts for the next 15% of your revenue.

C grade identifies your worst performing inventory and represents the specific inventory that accounts for the remaining 5% of your revenue.

This analysis is designed to help you optimize your investment in inventory by understanding which products to purchase and which products to avoid. With ABC analysis, you can continuously monitor the value of your stock, so you can make better decisions about your inventory.

The ABC analysis by product report is available to all merchants on the Shopify plan or above.
