Effective inventory management is necessary for any business, but it’s especially critical for electronics manufacturers and their supply chains. Increased efficiency can maximize profits and sales, lower operating costs and introduce better controls and management processes.
“When you have control over your inventory, you’re able to provide better customer service,” said Johnny Marx, an account executive at Handshake, in a blog. “It will also help you get a better, more real-time understanding of what’s selling and what isn’t. You also don’t want to have excess inventory taking up space in your warehouses unnecessarily. Too much inventory can trigger profit losses––whether a product expires, gets damaged, or goes out of season.”
