Most organisations face the challenges of managing both incoming and outgoing stock as efficiently as possible to ensure:

their internal and external customers are served effectively
costs are optimised
and working capital minimised.

Businesses with warehouses are challenged every day to manage lead times, procure at high quality and low cost, and keep stock accurately and at lowest level possible.
