A traditional response to tackle the dynamic demand would be to stock up the products in mass quantities. Overstocking is a big problem for the managers as it increases the inventory. First of all, buying too many risks product expiry or stock obsolescence, and most importantly, it freezes up the much-needed capital, which can be utilized for other revenue-generating activities. As a result, managers increasingly depend on inventory management software to optimize the inventory levels and consequently improve operational efficiency. Inventory management software with accurate estimations helps in managing demand fluctuations, availing trade discounts, freeing up working capital, and increasing supply chain efficiency.
