Inventory holding costs are the fees incurred for storing goods or inventory in a warehouse. Stored inventory is a liability that hits profit margins and increases businesses’ operating costs.
Rent for space, security, depreciation costs and insurance are among inventory holding costs.
As these costs increase, businesses must consider deploying demand planning and demand sensing. These tools can allow enterprises to maintain the optimum amount of stock.
