Improved Employee Performance

Use this report to identify missing store processes that may be causing the use of misc sales. Ie. Are items not being barcoded regularly?

Accurate sales reporting allows for optimal inventory planning which leads to more profitability.
Other reports that offer inventory planning recommendations only work when inventory records are accurate. Accurate Item records allows you to trust your reports which empower profitable inventory planning.
