Inventory Management
A critical element of the supply chain
Simplify the process of ordering, storing and using inventory
Understanding Inventory Management
A company’s inventory is one of its most valuable assets. In retail, manufacturing, food services,… A large inventory carries the risk of spoilage, theft, damage, or shifts in demand. For these reasons, inventory management is important for businesses of any size. It is an important activity that helps businesses/stores to balance between costs and the need to reserve goods for production, distribution and trading activities. Effective warehouse management is the solution to increase revenue – reduce costs – reduce losses.
