"Inventory software matters! (unedited)
I am a small business owner.
We used to keep our inventory levels in a spreadsheet.
I had never had time to implement real inventory software.
Needless to say that my inventory spreadsheet was never reporting accurate inventory levels.
It was not unusual to quote a delivery date to a customer only to find out insufficient inventory in stock.
On another hand, we often had inventory items in the warehouse, which we had not idea about. As a result, we could not use this inventory.
Finally, I asked my secretary to find affordable and sound inventory software.
After searching the Internet for two weeks or so, she came up with five inventory software programs.
I asked other staff members to evaluate these software packages further.
Two were not network able. One was priced over $2,000 yet did not have all features we needed.
Another inventory package had almost no documentation or support.
Only Almyta inventory software seemed to comply with all our requirements.
However it was not obvious from the very beginning. We had to phone Almyta a few times and ask questions.
In fact, I think we asked too many. A decision to implement inventory software did not come easy to me.
I should have found Almyta inventory software five years ago or so. Unfortunately,
I have lost a few customers before I've realized the need for good inventory software.
