Whether you’re a first-time franchise hopeful, a small business owner or an established chain, it’s always smart to stay on top of information technology.<\/p>\n

In an article posted on their website, “Information Systems To Prevent Inventory Shrinkage,” the Houston Chronicle (HC) states that, with the right systems to control inventory in place, “the money you save can raise profits without raising sales.”<\/p>\n

Here are the three information technologies highlighted in the HC article:<\/p>\n

POS, Front to Back
\n<\/b>By tying every sale to inventory counts and costs, a point of sale system can pinpoint internal shrinkage, thus calling for heightened backroom security measures.<\/p>\n

View Profit Margins By Category<\/b><\/p>\n

For each product you sell, view the IT system profit margin reports by category and investigate any areas with reduced margins. HC writes, “If one area has a reduced margin, you need to investigate what is going on in the warehouse. You could have a reduced margin because you are buying more inventory than you are selling.”<\/p>\n

Avoid Packing Slip Slip-ups<\/b><\/p>\n

HC recommends using an IT system to record “actual products ordered and received from vendors,” and not use vendors’ packing slips “because packaging errors occur.” Instead, they write, “Run your actual inventory numbers against vendor claims once a month, and you can identify areas where you are paying for inventory you never received.”<\/p>\n
