Cheap Inventory Checking: Read the Fine Print

Is there such a thing as cheap inventory checking? Sure – it’s called pen and paper, or you can use an Excel spreadsheet if you prefer. Unfortunately, however, what starts cheap becomes very expensive, and fast. Manual processes are an unreliable way to track and manage one of your most critical investments: your inventory. Why? In short, humans. Mistakes will happen even for the best-intentioned employee. A missed keystroke, typo, duplication of effort or simple oversight can throw off your records. That can be especially costly given that you’re required to report depreciation and inflation figures for accounting and compliance purposes. And, if you’ve assigned multiple employees to the task of maintaining those records, you can’t consolidate them with ease – another opportunity for error. Manual recordkeeping also leaves the door open to theft and loss that remain undetected. Some companies continue to spend thousands to ensure “ghost assets,” or assets that have long been gone but were never reported. When it comes time to hunt down any piece of information about your inventory, without accurate and timely records, your employees are left spinning their wheels for hours. That’s wasted time, reduced productivity and lots of frustration. The need for a more automated and reliable system is clear. “Cheap” inventory tracking simply isn’t worth the ultimate cost to your bottom line.

However, you don’t have to spend a fortune to track and manage your inventory the right way.
