Inventory Management Challenges

How can you make customer inquiries valuable? Through a self serve model. If you present customers with a self service model they can see their inventory when they need to. More importantly their customers can as well. This means more business for your customers and ultimately more business for you. If customers have visibility to their own inventory they can "see what's on hand, what's available, what's allocated, etc." and their customers can as well. This makes for less interruptions, better productivity, and happier customers. Thus calls from your customer become more strategic in nature. In general customer service levels improve 30%.
