Inventory tracking is the process of monitoring the movement and status of goods throughout a supply chain. This activity involves recording the quantity, location, and condition of items from their origin to their final destination, providing real-time visibility into stock levels. It aids in managing supply, demand, and logistical operations efficiently. Accurate inventory tracking helps businesses optimize costs, prevent losses, and improve delivery times.
