Sell-Through Rate

Sell-Through Rate is the percentage of inventory that is sold during a given period compared to the amount of inventory received. It is calculated by dividing units sold by units received and multiplying by 100. This metric tells you how quickly your products move off the shelves.

Why Sell-Through Rate Matters

A low sell-through rate means products are sitting in your warehouse costing you money in storage and tied-up capital. Tracking sell-through by product and category helps you make smarter purchasing and merchandising decisions. High sell-through rates indicate strong product-market fit and effective pricing strategies.
