In general, this a sample of some of the platforms in use today that include integration features, scale able features as well as implementation-- installation, and reporting capabilities.

Inventory Control Solutions

There are several ways to maintain inventory control in your business. You can use:

· A pen and paper, which is quick, but easy to lose notes and nearly impossible to data mine and use to plan for future inventory needs.

· Excel spreadsheets, which are great for storing information. But they can’t be automatically updated, so they have to be updated by hand by someone with specialized knowledge of a custom inventory system.

· Simple inventory control software, which is designed to automate some inventory processes, but that doesn’t have all the features companies need as they grow and thus has to be replaced every few years.

· Advanced inventory control software, which is inexpensive enough to be in small and midsize businesses’ price range, but also scalable so that it can meet a company’s needs as it grows and requires more complex features.
