Case Study: Recovering ₹2 Cr in Inventory
Read our MSME success story: How a top vendor recovered ₹2 Cr worth of inventory using Dravyaa's AI-enabled Warehouse Management System.
Turning Invisible Stock into Visual Gains
In the heart of a bustling industrial hub, a top MSME vendor was struggling with a "ghost inventory" problem. Despite a packed warehouse, they were frequently rejecting orders due to perceived shortages of critical components. Their manual tracking systems simply couldn't keep up with the complexity of their 10,000+ SKU inventory.
Within weeks of implementing Dravyaa's AI Warehouse Management Tool, the vendor made a staggering discovery. Hidden in suboptimal storage locations and untracked corners were critical goods worth over ₹2 Crore.
The AI Search & Rescue
Using Dravyaa's real-time audit feature, the warehouse team was able to map every cubic inch of their facility. The AI identified "dead zones" where old stock had been forgotten during shift changes. By digitizing their intake and dispatch, the AI Assistant flagged items that had been in the warehouse for over 180 days—goods the management thought had been sold years ago.
"We weren't just losing money; we were losing faith in our own data. Dravyaa AI gave us our warehouse back and recovered capital we thought was gone forever."— CEO, Leading Automotive Component Manufacturer

Frequently asked questions
What is ghost inventory in a warehouse?
Ghost inventory is stock that physically exists in a warehouse but is invisible to the business's records. In one MSME case, a vendor with a packed warehouse kept rejecting orders because of perceived shortages of critical components. Their manual tracking could not keep up with over 10,000 SKUs, so goods sat in suboptimal storage locations and untracked corners, forgotten during shift changes.
How can a manufacturer find lost or hidden stock in its warehouse?
A manufacturer can find hidden stock by running a real-time audit that maps the whole facility and by digitizing intake and dispatch. In the case study, this exposed dead zones where old stock had been forgotten during shift changes, and flagged items that had sat in the warehouse for over 180 days, goods management believed had been sold years earlier.
How did an MSME recover ₹2 crore of inventory?
An automotive component MSME recovered over ₹2 crore of inventory after implementing Dravyaa's AI Warehouse Management Tool. Within weeks, a real-time audit found critical goods hidden in suboptimal storage locations and untracked corners of its 10,000+ SKU warehouse. The recovered stock was reintegrated into active sales, and identifying obsolete items also freed about 35% of warehouse space.
What are the benefits of digitizing warehouse intake and dispatch?
Digitizing warehouse intake and dispatch means every stock movement is tracked and verified, giving real-time accountability. In the MSME case study, it let the system flag items that had been sitting for over 180 days, revealed forgotten stock worth over ₹2 crore that went back into active sales, and cleared clutter by identifying obsolete items, optimizing about 35% of warehouse space.
