You think you know how much OOS is costing you. You don’t. Most brands underestimate the financial impact of stockouts. Because the true cost of OOS never appears in aggregated Ulta reporting.

Bubble could see what had sold. They couldn’t see what had been suppressed by stockouts. Fragmented retailer data masked where demand was being lost at store level. Once SKU- and door-level visibility was unified, they could separate true demand shifts from availability distortions. If you’re selling through Ulta or Sephora, this will feel familiar.

When a product isn’t on shelf at Ulta or Sephora, the sale doesn’t get delayed. It gets lost. Retail operators openly acknowledge that stock visibility gaps suppress demand long before brands see it in reporting. We’ve brought together first-hand insight from teams working inside major beauty retailers and why it matters commercially. This article includes first hand beauty brand operator insights.

Your “98% availability” is lying to you. High-velocity SKUs are going out of stock in priority doors and the lost revenue never shows in your reports. You’re planning on what sold. Not what should have sold. We’re exploring how brands uncover revenue hidden by OOS, and what that’s costing you.
