Stock turn is how quickly you move the stock, or how often.

Let’s look at example.

Imagine you’ve got a a widget that costs £100 and you mark it up 100%. You sell it for £200. You’re making £100 gross profit.

If you move that stock once a month you have 12 monthly sales which will generate £1200 in gross profit. That’s 12 times £100. But if you can turn it over more, say twice a month, then you’ll double that to £2400.

Stock turn measures the average sales in a year. So in the first example above stock turn was 12, and 24 in the second.

Generally, the quicker you can sell your stock the more profit you make.

In this example, the same space was used to generate twice as much profit.

This KPI is a must for every business. Break it down into gross profit margin on each product, customer group or market. Businesses tend to have a single gross profit figure which can hide great and poor performing areas of your business.

"It’s key to know the make up of your gross profit margin. It’s often what stops companies growing when they reach £1m or £2m turnover. There’s often something which is costing them money and they don’t realise."
