Honestly, the systems and computer programs were constantly improving from my time. The good ones had a hefty price tag, but the better they are, they help cut costs from loss or overstocked. Come tax time it almost pays for itself. My advice is to fo some research and fine the most cutting edge systems and programs it will pay for itself in the first full year of using it. From there you will need updates only. But in 10 years you will need to look around again, maybe more maybe less. Depends on how well you did your original research.

Inventory management can be optimized by the Warehouse Management System (WMS), SAP and all other ERP systems. While these reduce human errors and waste from the process, it all needs human input to streamline actions needed at each point in time.
