A unique alphanumeric code assigned to each distinct product variant for inventory tracking, warehouse management, and sales analytics.
SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique alphanumeric identifier assigned to each distinct product or product variant in a company's inventory. SKUs enable precise tracking of stock levels, sales performance, and fulfillment across warehouses and sales channels.
Each variation of a product — such as different sizes, colors, or configurations — receives its own SKU. Effective SKU management is essential for production planning, demand forecasting, and supply chain coordination. When scaling production with manufacturers found on FindMyFactory, having a well-structured SKU system ensures smooth ordering and inventory integration.
