Frequently asked questions
What is the Pollen SLOB Index?
The Pollen SLOB Index (PSI) is a benchmark for excess inventory, akin to a Nasdaq for excess goods. It tracks slow-moving and obsolete stock across industries, giving brands and retailers real-time insights into discounting trends and liquidation activity.
What data does the PSI use?
Unlike other inventory benchmarks, our PSI is built on real-time, aggregated, and anonymized data from leading brands, distributors, and retailers using Pollen's AI-powered inventory Liquidation Management System (LMS).
How does the PSI perform its calculations?
Our PSI combines over 60 product attributes across millions of SKUs with market demand data that's updated daily. This first-party data set is then enriched with API providers to capture global market changes that impact excess inventory pricing and demand, making the PSI the only index capable of providing granular product predictions for excess stock globally.
