Managing raw materials, processing finished products, tracking lost or damaged goods—a lot goes into inventory management. Your inventory is your most valuable asset and your biggest liability. You rely on accurate reporting to determine re-orders, set pricing, and make vital business decisions. However, manual errors, outdated technology, and supply chain issues can cause serious headaches. Discover how automated inventory management can help.

Frustrations associated with inventory management include:

• Inconsistent tracking
• Inaccurate data
• Lost goods
• Overstocking
• Manuel documentation
• Managing warehouse space

Improper warehouse management can lead to missing items, unclear shipping dates, inaccurate stock numbers, and (worst of all) loss of revenue.

Many businesses still rely on manual data entry in spreadsheets to manage the influx and outflow of their products. However, most of the frustrations above can be attributed to human errors caused by these manual processes. A missed parcel here. A wrong SKU there. Seemingly minor oversights can cost a business—as much as $1.1 trillion, to be exact.

Automation allows businesses to see their inventory in real-time, check stock levels on the go, and track serial numbers and batches. Zoho Inventory is one of the leading tools in this space. Inventory is a top-of-the-line inventory management software that provides accurate insights and accounting of your entire warehouse.
