Whether you’re dealing with a customized SKU system or a task assignment workflow, you need to make sure that your systems are consistent and work in tandem with your field reporting software. Multichannel Merchant points out that inventory management and data collection shouldn’t be restricted to operations department, but should be coordinated with every moving part of a business. This might include marketing and eCommerce, or other departments that are relying on inventory data collection to plan future projects and initiatives.
In addition to consistency, though, it pays off to be a stickler for attention to detail. Even while using field reporting software, people can still make mistakes by skipping over inventory or not bothering to double check their work. There’s always room for human error, so although data collection software is fast and easy to use, advise employees not to get ahead of themselves.
