Painless Inventory Management


painless-ic-management-banner Many business owners receive the same voiced complaint about their companies—whether they are large or small—the lack of accurate inventory tracking. To succeed, all businesses must know how much inventory is needed and ensure they aren’t carrying either too much or too little stock. Unfortunately, there are many opportunities for miscalculations and errors during the placing and receiving of orders from inventory suppliers and during the time that inventory is carried by the business.

The Solution

This problem can easily be remedied by using bar code scanning and an automated inventory management system. The automated process of tracking inventory data eliminates chances for errors by ending the manual tracking of data by hand (pen & paper or Excel).  A centralized, automated system allows users to easily monitor stock levels—ensuring inventory levels are accurate and adjusted to reflect customer demand. Too much or too little inventory causes companies to lose money.  Either money is wasted paying carrying costs to store excessive inventory or profit is lost because customer demands can’t be met.  If a company wishes to eliminate slow-moving inventory, prices can be dropped or inventory can be sold to liquidators or discounters.  To prevent carrying slow-moving items, look closely at top selling items and stick with those—add similar items to in stock inventory after you eliminating items that do not sell well.

Implementing Damage Control

If a company’s priorities are not accurate, damage control may be needed before moving forward. Focus first on the inventory management of top selling items and then simply move on to the next best selling items and continue to repeat this process.  It’s easy to get discouraged at this point, but remember that it takes time for all these plans to come together. Likewise, it may take a bit of trial and error during the transition to an automated an inventory management system that works.
