Optimisation of Sample Sales & B-Stock Workflows
The Problem: Manual Clearance Hurts Margins
Sample sales and B-stock clearance are often treated as an afterthought — managed through ad-hoc processes, outdated spreadsheets, and slow manual listings.
The result?
- Overstock tying up warehouse space and capital
- Delayed sell-through, missing peak buying windows
- Pricing that doesn’t reflect market demand
- Fragmented performance data across channels
All these inefficiencies leave money on the table.
Our Approach to Sample Sales & B-Stock Optimisation
Brandback transforms slow, manual clearance processes into data-driven, automated workflows.
Key capabilities:
- Inventory integration with your WMS and ERP to automatically flag B-stock and samples
- Instant listing creation across preferred sales channels (employee stores, private marketplaces, flash sale platforms)
- Dynamic pricing rules that respond to product age, demand curves, and market signals
- Grading & photography workflows for professional, accurate product representation
- AI demand prediction to allocate stock to the highest-converting channels
The Agentic Layer
Our intelligent agents actively manage your clearance pipeline:
- Auto-publish listings as soon as qualifying stock is identified
- Recommend optimal channels based on historic sell-through and live demand data
- Adjust pricing dynamically to meet clearance targets
Seamless Integration
Brandback connects with your existing infrastructure, ensuring a smooth rollout:
- ERP systems: NetSuite, SAP
- WMS platforms
- Marketplaces: eBay, Vinted
Proven Outcomes
