Customer service, employee training, advertising, and other business processes are also important, of course, but good inventory management is critical. Without keeping an appropriate amount of physical inventory in stock based on sales numbers, you won't meet your financial objectives. Inventory management is easy at a single location, but a greater level of attention must be given to physical inventory when one is considering business expansion.
