Effective management of inventory is essential for any business. Our recent survey of industry experts reveals that the greatest obstacle with current inventory software is a lack of integration, as reported by 62% of respondents, with 25% citing outdated or inaccurate data as a major issue. These problems may lead to inefficiencies, delays, and missed opportunities. These barriers can directly affect both the company’s earnings and customer contentment.

Issue #1. The Integration Issue

Many businesses today rely on several systems to manage various business functions such as inventory, sales, and customer services. The reality is that most current inventory software lacks effective integration capabilities with silo based databases. This often leads to redundant manual data entry across platforms, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.

Issue #2. Outdated and Inaccurate Data

Another significant issue that many businesses face is managing outdated or incorrect data (bad data) caused by ongoing manual entries. This bad data often results in problems like stockouts, overstocking, or inability to meet customer demand efficiently — ultimately leading to customer dissatisfaction, missed sales, and increased costs.
