AI Finds ₹10.45 Cr Dead Stock in SAP Business One | TEKAI

Dead stock hides in plain sight — items with value on the books and no movement in the transactions. In this demo, TEKAI reads SAP Business One inventory and sales history and surfaces the non-moving stock by value and age; in the demonstration dataset it identified ₹10.45 crore of it in one conversation.

Why dead stock survives every stock report

Standard reports show what you have, not what refuses to move. Slow-movers hide inside healthy category totals; the item that last sold eighteen months ago sits two clicks deeper than anyone goes at month-end. Finding dead stock manually means cross-reading item masters, warehouse quantities and sales history — so it happens once a year, if ever.

What the demo shows

One conversation: which items haven’t moved, since when, what they’re worth at cost, and where they sit. TEKAI reads the item, inventory and sales data and returns the answer ranked by value — 32 items with no sale in over three years — then follows up the way an analyst would: aging bands, a four-tier margin-protected discount structure in which no price falls below cost, and an on-camera comparison of SAP Business One’s own pricing objects (price lists, special prices, period and volume discounts) before implementing the one that fits a time-boxed clearance. The ₹10.45 crore figure is what the demo dataset surfaced — every number in the video comes from a demonstration database, not customer data.

From finding it to acting on it

Identification is step one. The same conversation extends to action: which of these items have open purchase orders that should pause, which could clear at a discount against carrying cost, which warehouse transfers consolidate the stragglers. The AI proposes; your team decides. In the demo that goes all the way to execution — a personalised clearance email campaign sent only after a human approves the sample, and period and volume discounts posted into SAP Business One through the Service Layer with validity dates and quantity breaks, human approval on every action.

The discipline this replaces

This isn’t a new report to schedule — it’s the year-end stock-cleansing exercise made cheap enough to run monthly. Working capital locked in non-moving inventory is the most common silent loss in distribution and manufacturing SMBs, and its cost is exactly the visibility this closes.

FAQs

How does TEKAI define dead stock?

By your criteria — the conversation sets the threshold (no movement in N months, minimum value, specific warehouses) rather than a fixed report definition.

Can it value dead stock at cost vs current price?

Yes — it reads the same valuation data SAP Business One holds.

Does this work per warehouse?

Yes — warehouse-wise and consolidated views in the same conversation.

Is the ₹10.45 crore from a real company?

No — the demo runs on a demonstration database. Your own figure is whatever your live data shows, which is the point of connecting TEKAI to it.

What’s the fastest way to test this on our data?
