BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Challenge
Managers need a reliable view of inventory across locations
Accuracy
Master data should stay trustworthy as products change
Tracking
Updates need to be easy to review later
Speed
Users should not fight the system to keep stock current
Detail
Without a central view, it's hard for managers to know what's actually in stock at each site
Accuracy
Product, vendor, and pricing details drift out of date if they're not easy to keep current
Tracking
Without a record of what changed and when, it's difficult to trace back the source of a stock discrepancy
Speed
A slow or clunky update process discourages teams from keeping inventory records accurate day to day
