Abstract—Driven by the development of the digital economy and consumption upgrading, traditional retail is shifting from a product-centric model to a consumer-centric model, with consumers placing higher demands on product availability and delivery timeliness. However, the fragmentation of inventory data across all links in the traditional retail supply chain will cause supply-demand mismatches. This can result in either overestimating demand and causing overstocked inventory, or underestimating demand and causing supply shortages and stockouts. This paper takes traditional retail as its research object and conducts a systematic study on supply chain collaborative inventory management, explaining the core impact of this model on traditional retail. It also analyzes the practical difficulties encountered in its implementation, including the low willingness of supply chain participants to share information and engage in collaboration, inconsistent standards for cross-entity and cross-channel inventory data, and a lack of standardized evaluation mechanisms for supplier selection. To solve the above practical problems, this paper puts forward optimization strategies from three dimensions: information security protection, unified data standards and standardized supplier management. The study clarifies the core value of supply chain collaborative inventory management in cost control within the traditional retail supply chain and identifies key obstacles and solutions for its implementation.
