What is Inventory Management

Inventory management involves overseeing the flow of goods from manufacturers to warehouses and ultimately to the point of sale, ensuring optimal stock levels at all times.

Real-World Example

A retailer uses inventory management software to automatically reorder products when stock drops below a certain threshold, ensuring shelves stay stocked without overcommitting capital to excess inventory.
