Inventory control for SMBs often starts in a spreadsheet. It works while there are few products, one location, and one person responsible. Problems start when sales, purchases, transfers, and adjustments grow faster than the file discipline.
Signals to change
- No one knows what is in each location
- Adjustments have no explanation
- Purchases do not match rotation
- Inventory lives away from sales and accounting
A system like Tario lets teams record locations, movements, assignments, and repairs so inventory can be reviewed alongside finance.
