Inventory
Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. It doesn’t matter if a company has developed a must product or service, if it has some of the industry’s best marketing minds to promote itself or if its leadership teams have previously built businesses from the ground up – the mismanagement of funds can choke off a company’s growth faster and more completely than any other factor.
Closely tied to the issue of cash flow is inventory management. Businesses need to have enough inventory to meet often-fluctuating demand, so constant monitoring and adjustments are invaluable.
If too much cash is tied up in inventory, a business won’t be able to divert finances where they may be put to better use. If inventory levels aren’t high enough, not only will a business be unable to make sales, customers could instead turn to competitors to meet their demand. When that proper balance isn’t achieved, cash flow problems and inventory mismanagement undermine growth.
For more than 15 years, Accent Software has helped small and medium-sized businesses correct their inventory problems, whether that means enhancing analysis and reporting mechanisms or improving tracking.

Common pain points regarding inventory management
Inventory surplus: When the volume of your inventory exceeds customer demand, your resources are tied up in assets that are not paying you immediate dividends. Even if you’re able to sell off your inventory down the road (and even that could be at a discounted rate), the damage to your customer base – those who didn’t receive a product they expected – could already be done.
Inventory variance: Even if you keep careful track of your inventory, there’s always a chance that your records do not align with actual volume. Most businesses are proactive about tracking this “inventory variance” and taking steps to close the gap between actual and reported figures. Because inventory is in a constant state of flux, it’s difficult to eliminate this gap entirely.
