SKUmäärä

SKUmäärä is a Finnish term that translates to "SKU quantity" or "number of SKUs." It refers to the total count of unique Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) that a business manages. An SKU is a unique identifier assigned to a specific product variant, such as a particular size, color, or model of an item. For example, a red t-shirt in size medium would be one SKU, while a blue t-shirt in size large would be a different SKU.

Businesses, particularly in retail and inventory management, use SKUmäärä to track and control their product offerings. A high SKUmäärä can indicate a wide variety of products, which can be beneficial for catering to diverse customer needs but can also lead to increased complexity in inventory management, warehousing, and sales tracking. Conversely, a low SKUmäärä suggests a more focused product range.

Monitoring SKUmäärä helps businesses understand their product portfolio's breadth and depth. It's a key metric for strategic decisions related to product development, merchandising, and operational efficiency. Analyzing trends in SKUmäärä can help identify slow-moving or redundant products, allowing for optimization and cost reduction.
