Inventory management helps companies identify which & how much stock to order and stock at what time. It tracks all SKU’s from purchase to the sale.

The practice identifies and responds to trends to ensure there’s always enough stock to fulfill customer orders and proper warning of a shortage.

Once sold, inventory becomes revenue. Before it sells, inventory is actually cash blocked for you though it is mentioned as asset in the balance sheet. So too much it means most precious resource cash is blocked more than required and thereby hampering other business plans.

Inventory management is vital to a company’s health because it helps make sure there is rarely too much or too little stock on hand, limiting the risk of stockouts and inaccurate records.

Even for listed companies it is mandatory to track their stocks and reproduce them on their quarterly and annual balance sheets to maintain compliance.

The two main benefits of inventory management is that it ensures ability to fulfill incoming or open orders and raises profits. It also helps in following ways

~ Saves Money: Understanding stock trends means its visible how much of and where is something in stock so that the stock available is put to best use. This also allows to keep less stock at each location (store, warehouse) β€” all of this decreases cash blocked in inventory and also the amount of stock that goes unsold before it’s obsolete.

~ Improves Cash Flow: With proper inventory management, you spend money on inventory that sells, so cash is always moving through the business.

~ Satisfies Customers: One element of developing loyal customers is ensuring they receive the items they want without waiting.
