 Common problems with traditional inventory management

Although most companies recognize the importance of inventory management, many still suffer from organizational chaos, leading to financial losses and missed opportunities. Here are some of the most prominent challenges:

Loss and waste

• When a company relies on paper or Excel spreadsheets to track quantities, errors become common.
• Inaccurate quantities may be recorded, or product movements may be forgotten. These small errors add up to significant financial waste, especially when dealing with products with limited shelf life or expensive spare parts.

Difficulty tracking products

• In companies with multiple branches or warehouses, tracking the location of a product or the quantity available becomes a daily challenge.
• How much time is wasted searching for a particular item or checking its availability?
• These difficulties may lead to delayed orders, canceled sales, or lost customers.

Poor coordination between departments

• Inventory management doesn't operate in isolation from other departments. When there's no integration between sales, purchasing, and production, information gaps occur that cause chaos in the supply chain.
• For example, a sales team may sell a product that is out of stock due to a delay in updating data, damaging the company's reputation and customer trust.
