Growing and distributors may soon find that entry-level and specialty software are no longer able to efficiently manage inventory. As product offerings and volumes increase, it becomes more difficult to keep track of inventory as it comes into the warehouse or as it’s shipped to customers. Replace physical counts and other manual processes with the time-saving automations offered in a robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
Manually reconciling paper inventory order forms with shipments that arrive at the warehouse on a daily basis is time consuming. Walking up and down warehouse aisles performing physical inventory counts is even more time consuming. Manufacturers and distributors that are experiencing periods of growth need all hands on deck manufacturing products and fulfilling orders, not buried in stacks of paperwork or sorting through boxes. There is a more effective and reliable way to manage inventory that will also improve labor management, and it starts with replacing manual processes with automated ones.
