Counting Merchandise More Often Improves Inventory Record Accuracy

And another that that we've been, you know, really tied to for a very long time both in bar code and in RFID is inventory record accuracy. As I mentioned, you're in the you're in the brick and mortar store. You're shopping the item that's in front of your face. Yeah. Right, you know it's there, you know it's available, you know it's a good quality. In the online world, anything in the omnichannel you don't. You are actually shopping what the retailer thinks they have. That is the inventory records. In the bar code world, this this shocked me when I first found out about it. We we've had the ability to look at our clients' variances over many years, In the bar code world, if you're counting once or twice a year, near the end of that period, only thirty five percent of your records are accurate. Only thirty five. So what happens with the others that are inaccurate, some of time some of the time, you're out of stock and you don't know it. That's right. Some of the time, you're over stock and you don't know And then there's the edge cases so that out of stock, you know, you you might try to sell that online when you don't really have it. And the other is the overstock where you don't know you can sell it online, but but you actually do have it. So there's a lot of spent for retailers involved with incorrect stock levels. You might not replenish on time. It could be a future out of stock condition. It's it's something we dove into. You and I and one of the previous herb's hot takes.
