Stock Keeping Unit (SKU)

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 Speya (formerly Find My Factory), having a well-structured SKU system ensures smooth ordering and inventory integration.
