What is backstock?

Backstock refers to the excess inventory or merchandise that a business has beyond what can be displayed on the sales floor. It can include products that are out of season, overstocked, or simply not selling as well as anticipated. Backstock is usually stored in a backroom or warehouse and may be brought out to the sales floor as needed. It is important for businesses to manage their backstock effectively as it can tie up inventory and impact profitability if not managed properly. A good inventory management system can help businesses efficiently track and manage their backstock.
