Inventory management -Support your business operations

editor2 • Jul 27, 2021

Inventory management plays a fundamental role in product sales companies. This covers many topics, such as determining the right time to place orders, the quantity and the place to store them. These three points, if carried out properly, will make the company successful.

Previously, companies carried out their inventory management manually, with spreadsheets, and the inventory was carried out by the same workers. However, if there are errors in the process, irreparable losses would be generated that cause the failure of a company.

Currently, this is not the case. There is a software that is responsible for controlling, ordering and keeping the requirements of the companies up to date. The expert staff take care of the good handling of the software and thus save a lot of work and time.

Determining points of inventory management

As we have mentioned, inventory management is very important. Whether the company succeeds or goes bankrupt depends on it. To consolidate your company, you must comply with the following points:

Action to be taken Description
Inventory tracking Know in real time the location of your inventory in the supply chain.
Purchases Manage purchase orders without exceeding the necessary amount, thus strengthening the profitability of your company.
Orders management Identify prices, send estimates and keep track of your orders.
Reporting and analytics Forecast demand for future sales and avoid losses.
Shipping Capability Affiliation with companies dedicated to transporting products to protect your merchandise and expedite shipments.

Powerful digital programs

Here is a list of the most popular technology systems for inventory management:

Blockchain . It allows companies to connect with suppliers, manufacturers and distribution centers. Within this network you are allowed to share information about your inventory.

Internet of things . The sensors provided by this system allow you to know the location and status of your inventory.

•  Artificial intelligence . This program is very accurate in monitoring inventory. In this way you will not have material costs.

Intelligent order management . It is essential for companies in charge of supplies. It allows you a wide visibility of your inventory. Automatically indicates the number of orders your company needs.

Objectives in a company

The objectives of inventory management in a company greatly influence its development and stability. They help the organization exist within it, maintain profitability and reduce costs. Plus, improve the buying and selling process by taking advantage of discounts on bulky purchases.

In business terms, time is very valuable. Therefore, keeping stored products for a long time is not profitable. It’s a waste of storage. Buying the right quantities and selling within a reasonable time is ideal.

It is quite common that, within large companies, there are thefts of merchandise. This is very common in companies with a large storage of products. That is why inventory management also has the goal of identifying if products are disappearing. By keeping this control, losses are identified and corrected.

El mundo en este momento vive la emoción y alegría por recibir el Nuevo Año Chino, uno de los festivales más importantes del año de esta cultura oriental. Conocido originalmente como el Año Nuevo Lunar o el Festival de Primavera, se celebra al comienzo de la segunda luna después del solsticio de invierno de ahí donde proviene su nombre. Conocido particularmente como el Año del Dragón, debido a que los animales en el calendario chino son el perro, el cerdo, la rata, el buey, el tigre, el conejo, el dragón, la serpiente, el caballo, la oveja, el mono y el gallo. Sabemos que en el mundo occidental, muchas cuestiones y preguntas emergen cada inicio de año, relacionadas a los símbolos de esta tradición, es por eso que te compartimos algunos datos a saber sobre esta fiesta. Este 2024, marca el cambio del año del conejo de agua al año del dragón de madera, símbolo que rigió por última vez en 1964. Antes ocurrió en 1904 y así sucesivamente cada 60 años. El dragón es el quinto animal del zodíaco y en la cultura china representa buena suerte, fuerza, salud y el elemento masculino yang. Dentro de este periodo, se produce la mayor migración de personas en todo el mundo, ya que millones de personas viajan en las vísperas del Año Nuevo para pasar tiempo con la familia o los amigos. Desde el lado de los negocios el Año Nuevo Chino es una tradición que tiene un impacto en la economía local e internacional. Compradores y empresas deben llevar una planificación organizada y anticipada para hacerle frente al inicio del Año, ya que en los últimos años se ha visto una tendencia en que las operaciones acortan tiempos laborales. Esto provoca falta de disponibilidad de contenedores, retrasos en el transporte y aumento en los costos de envio gracias a esta temporada tan alta y de gran importancia para los países asiáticos. Además, las redes de transporte por carretera, ferroviario y aéreo también pasan a través de importantes retrasos debido al aumento del tráfico y la escasez de mano de obra. Sabemos que el tiempo es un recurso muy valioso y es clave para las relaciones entre proveedores y compradores. En tu caso, ¿qué medidas tomas ante los eventos y festividades como lo es el Año Nuevo Chino? Compártenos tus comentarios.
