In the fast-paced mobile phone retail industry, inventory management – especially for screen protectors – has long been a major challenge. With the rapid update of mobile phone models, stores are facing the dual pressure of a surge in product varieties and inventory overstock. The emergence of Cedle’s magic box universal tempered glass screen protectors is transforming inventory management from a headache-inducing problem into a competitive advantage.
1.Three Major Challenges of Traditional Inventory Management
1.1 Model Explosion and Inventory Overstock
In 2023, 132 new mobile phone models were released globally. Just for popular models like the iPhone 15 (4 versions) and Huawei Mate 60 (3 versions), each store on average needs to stock over 50 types of dedicated screen protectors, increasing management costs by 45% (Retail Dive, 2023). Slow-moving inventory seriously ties up funds: on average, each model is slow-moving for 95 days, with 30% of every $100,000 in inventory being inefficiently occupied – causing a liquidity loss of $36,000 annually. Manual inventory checks are also time-consuming and labor-intensive: 32% of Shopify merchants report that store staff spend over one hour each day managing screen protector inventory.
