Talk:Inventory management software

What is...?
what is online sales and inventory management system?

An article about "Inventory management software" that only covers a few high level concepts and at no point mentions some examples of actual, in use, software is useless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.238.33 (talk) 08:01, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Inventory Management Software vs. Warehouse Management Software
Posting this on both pages, but it would be useful to have a section with "Differences between Inventory Management Software and Warehouse Management Software" or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.108.1.56 (talk • contribs)

Inventory management software is designed to track inventory levels, monitor stock movements, and manage orders and sales. It can help businesses optimize inventory levels and reduce excess inventory, prevent stockouts, and automate order processing. It can also provide insights into sales trends and product performance, helping businesses make informed decisions about purchasing and pricing.

Warehouse management software, on the other hand, is designed to manage the physical storage and movement of inventory within a warehouse or distribution center. It can help businesses track inventory levels in real-time, manage inbound and outbound shipments, optimize picking and packing processes, and improve warehouse efficiency.

Product Identification
There's a question for the content "Modern inventory software programs may use QR codes or NFC tags to identify inventory items and smartphones as scanners.[citation needed] This method provides an option for small businesses to track inventory using barcode scanning without a need to purchase expensive scanning hardware.[citation needed]". It does not mention RFID tags while RFID inventory management is a part of modern inventory management. Please review my suggestion. Isabella-cheer-chan (talk) 05:50, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Are the only choices ERP or cloud based ?
Are the only choices ERP or cloud based ? Aren't there non-cloud-based systems apart from an ERP system, eg a spreadsheet based system ? And Enterprise resource planning says some are cloud based. - Rod57 (talk) 11:10, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
