1.8x inventory turns in a 25-store electronics chain across UAE and India.

Dead stock piles up 6 months faster than benchmarks.

Stores order hot gadgets like smartphones and TVs based on hype. But slow-movers in accessories and older models sit. One month later, cash vanishes into warehouses from Dubai to Delhi. A chain with Rs. 150 Cr revenue bleeds Rs. 2.5 Cr yearly on this alone. Only retail vets spot how supplier minimums force overstock on lemons.

Fast analysis of 4 data points flips it: capital recovers in weeks, not years.

What if your electronics dead stock is quietly eating 15% of working capital right now?

70% of 5-50 store chains leave ₹15-25L on the table.

GMROI reality:

A 9-store CE chain. Rs. 88.6 Cr revenue. GMROI 0.30x.

The benchmark is 2.0x. Nobody in that business knew.

For every Rs. 100 of inventory sitting across those 9 stores, the business was earning Rs. 30 in gross profit.

The reorder system kept firing. Revenue looked fine. Nothing flagged it. What the dashboard could not show was Rs. 69.8 lakhs locked inside SKUs that had quietly stopped earning.

Four data points found it. Opening stock, closing stock, purchases, sales. No ERP integration. No software. Five business days.

The capital had been sitting there for months before anyone looked at it structurally.

GMROI below 1.0x in CE is not a bad quarter. It is capital that has stopped working entirely.

When did you last calculate GMROI by individual SKU, not by brand, not by category, by SKU?
