Inventory tracking is a key business process.
The average small business has over a dozen items to sell and the best way to manage those sales is to provide Inventory tracking. This can be done in several ways. You can do it by hand, taking the name of the item for sale, documenting where you got it, how much you paid for it, where you put it, when it expires (if it has an expiration date), when it sells, how much it sells for, etc. This process can be tedious and is prone to human error, especially when the inventory expands. Another method of tracking your inventory is to start a spread sheet on a plain old PC or Mac. This isn’t too bad as you are less likely to misplace sheets of paper, cross things off lists by accident, etc. But you still have to spend a lot of time at the computer and we all know that time is money.
