Inventory Control Tracking Impacts Consumer Perception

inventory-control-tracking-2-header
In today’s retail environment, inventory control tracking is vital for many reasons. Consumer expectations about service are probably most critical. Why? A consumer who doesn’t have a positive experience is likely to tell her friends. Carrying information far and wide within seconds, social media is among the most common means of recommendation-sharing. And peer recommendations carry more weight than ever with consumers. Study after study has shown how heavily consumers rely on the Internet, including social media, to help guide their purchasing decisions. If you’re out of stock on something your customers want, a good customer service experience might convince them to stick around – if you’re lucky. What happens more often, however, is that you lose a customer. If you want to avoid such situations, the best plan of action is to invest in a reliable, powerful inventory control tracking system that not only helps you stay on top of inventory levels in real time, but also tracks values, minimizes errors, improves tax and insurance accuracy, enhances disaster recovery, and reduces theft and loss while empowering you to make informed decisions about replenishment and distribution.

There are so many opportunities for error when it comes inventory control tracking. On the flip side of the problem described above, if you carry too much inventory, your profit suffers. As that excess inventory sits on the shelf, its quality could be degraded by environmental damage, it might become outdated, and its value most certainly depreciates. Maybe you’ve assigned too much inventory to one location while another site is in need, which can put a kink in productivity (not to mention morale). If you don’t have a reliable means of predicting your needed inventory levels for seasonal conditions, you might result to guesswork and find yourself short or with too much inventory. You also need a method to accurate calculate depreciation and appreciation for your accounting and compliance teams. Those values have a direct impact on your insurance and taxes. Mistakes are costly.
