Os resultados indicam que a empresa XY está ativa a pouco tempo no mercado; mas já consegue identificar seu público alvo e possui um mix de produtos que atendem à demanda e que faz com que o seu estoque possua alta rotatividade. Com relação ao planejamento de compras é determinado de acordo com o nível de vendas e também por sazonalidade; prezando sempre por fornecedores locais que atendam aos prazos de entrega. O método de controle de estoque utilizado é o Peps (o que entra primeiro sai primeiro); além de possuir sistema informatizado para gerenciar suas entradas e saídas. De modo geral, as estratégias adotadas quanto ao controle de estoque têm transmitido resultados para a empresa, estando o proprietário satisfeito até o momento, pois, apesar de ter pouco de tempo de fundada; possui um gerenciamento de estoque sólido.
