Hands-On Inventory for Hardware Stores
Hardware stores and specialty builders' suppliers face unique inventory challenges: massive SKU counts, complex Units of Measure (UOM), and difficult-to-track bulk items. Zenbaki Inventory provides the essential hands-on, manual counting services needed to tame unruly inventory and build a reliable data foundation.
The Hardware Inventory Challenge: Complexity and UOM
The variety of products, from single nuts and bolts to lumber sold by the linear foot, makes accurate valuation incredibly difficult using standard methods. You need a service that physically verifies and standardizes every product detail.
- SKU Overload: Managing hundreds of thousands of distinct product identifiers.
- Inconsistent UOM: Reconciling how products are bought, stored, and sold.
- Database Instability: Legacy data that prevents successful implementation of new management systems.
