Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.
with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management Services
Date: 23 July 2019
Inventory control and management can be one of the biggest headaches for a huge number of businesses out there; particularly emerging ones. Knowing how much you have of each component or ingredient, its location and its age is absolutely essential when each of these building blocks are your bread and butter.
Plus a change to any product component or staff or storage - even when it does means positive growth can sometimes create more turmoil than it is worth. But small businesses all know change IS necessary for success and as our guest this coming week will explain it can, without the right tools in your arsenal, break your business.
Here to share his experience is Rhys Roberts, the founder of Cloudsolve here to share his wealth of experience with businesses of all sizes with inventory management. He knows first hand what the solutions are if you feel like it is all getting out-of-control.
Welcome to the show Rhys.
Topics we’ll be covering:
Why do so many small to medium businesses struggle with inventory? Why is it important to get it right?
What are the main challenges people get stuck on? What do they find difficult?
Let’s talk about the implications of poor inventory management. What happens if you get it wrong? For example legal obligations with tracking goods/batches etc?
We have bricks and mortar business, online stores, ecommerce, manufacturing and wholesale business. How are they the same and or different when it comes to inventory? Do they have different issues or similar?
So if I’m a business owner... I’m treading water with outdated systems that are kind of working, but I can see and feel things could be improved. Is it too late? Do I just have to grin and bear it?
How do I know what’s right for my business, because every busy is different?
