Anything and everything is dangerous if it is in excess or in scarce. Be it the food you eat, the sleep time you take or even the duration for which you work. All these things whether in excess or in scarce will lead to the decrease in productivity and efficiency of the person. Similar is the case with the retail stores. A lot of inventory of different varieties and categories is stacked on the gondolas of retail stores. This is the reason why retail managers have to keep a careful check on their inventory as well as the shelf space. Any excess or scarcity of products will lead to either lack of shelf space or lack of inventory or even lack of human resource to manage. Let's suppose if the shelf life of the product is 1 week and the product is not exhausted and you have ordered the product before one week, you will have no shelf space for the next ordered product and in that case the product would just be lying here and there making it more difficult for the management to manage the product. Same is the case when the shelf life of the product is one week and the product is exhausted and you have ordered it after one week then there would be no product in the shelf to cater to customers and thus it will face stock out situation. In both the cases where inventory is either in excess or in scarce, it will incur huge cost for a retail store.

For this reason it is very important to analyze each and every product of yours in order to understand the shelf life of each product because when you understand and analyze the product you are selling and when it gets sold or remains in stock you are able to order the minimum amount of it or even decide not to order it. So, if the retail manager wants customers to be happy and interested he needs to know the turn rates of each of its product so that he can replenish the older ones and add new merchandise to its stock.

Thanks to the advancement in technology. Computer software are designed to track the inventory system and manage the cash register accordingly. This not only increases the efficiency of the retail store but also reduce the cost and thus increase the profitability.

Compatible computer services is the provider of point of sales system for retail stores where a retail store can conveniently track it inventory. In this software retail manager can easily allocate shelf space and can easily maintain the cash register for tracking inflow and outflow. Thus inventory tracking system does not have a positive impact only on the cash register but also on various other aspect such as employee productivity, return of investment, increase in turnover rate and above all better customer services.
