Why Small Businesses Need an Inventory Management System

For small businesses, managing inventory can be a daunting task. Manual processes are prone to errors, leading to overstocking or stockouts, both of which can hurt the bottom line. An inventory management system for small business automates these processes, ensuring accurate tracking and timely replenishment of stock.

Inventory management is crucial for maintaining the balance between supply and demand. Without a proper system in place, small businesses may face challenges such as excess inventory, which ties up capital and storage space, or insufficient inventory, leading to missed sales opportunities and dissatisfied customers. An efficient inventory management system helps mitigate these risks by providing real-time data and insights.

Key Benefits of Veras OmniView

Real-Time Inventory Availability

Many ERP and e-commerce systems rely on batch inventory updates that can’t readily expose the available inventory data for real-time requests. However, Veras OmniView can expose the data at any level and to any system. Whether it’s at the warehouse, store, or aisle-bay-shelf-bin level, Veras OmniView provides store associates with enterprise-wide inventory availability, including BOPIS (Buy Online Pick Up In Store) and save-the-sale capabilities when the store is out-of-stock.

Optimized Putaway and Order Picking for E-commerce Fulfillment

Successfully compete with e-commerce players by maximizing the impact of your stores. Optimize the picking process by leveraging staff at every store, or select stores, to create responsive e-commerce fulfillment centers. Veras OmniView’s lightweight, easy-to-deploy architecture and efficient order picking allow retailers to meet this challenge without breaking the budget on costly, overly complex warehouse management systems.

Enhanced Customer Service for E-commerce & In-Store Transactions

As customers exert more control over how, when, and where their orders are fulfilled, knowing the exact location of merchandise can maximize productivity, improve service, and boost profits. Veras OmniView addresses multiple business cases to make the best use of your resources across stores, warehouses, and offices. With real-time POS integration, stores of out-of-stock items are alerted on the floor and replenished on the fly from the backroom or off-site storage.

Easy Deployment that Complements Existing ERP Systems

Veras OmniView is designed for easy deployment, making it a practical addition to your existing ERP systems. Its lightweight architecture ensures that you can implement it without significant disruptions to your current operations.

Fully Integrated with Veras CheckOut to Deliver a Complete In-Store Solution

Deliver on E-Commerce Demands

As consumers are drawn to the convenience, savings, and speed of BOPIS, it’s critical to provide store staff with the necessary tools to successfully execute. Veras OmniView gives the store quick visibility to inventory position for picking the BOPIS order, as well as audible and visual alerts that let associates know they’re falling behind to better prioritize orders and ensure they’re ready for pickup.
