Subject: Monthly Inventory Reconciliation Process - Automation Opportunity
Team,
I've been tracking our monthly inventory reconciliation process and think we have a strong automation candidate. Here's the breakdown:
CURRENT PROCESS:
- Download inventory reports from 3 systems (ERP, WMS, POS)
- Manually cross-reference 2,500+ SKUs in Excel
- Identify discrepancies and research root causes
- Update system records and create adjustment entries
- Generate variance report for finance
TIME INVESTMENT:
- Process takes 16 hours per month (2 full days)
- Jessica spends 12 hours, I spend 4 hours reviewing
- Additional 3-4 hours monthly fixing errors we catch later
ERROR RATE:
- About 8-12 data entry mistakes per month
- Results in average $3,200 monthly inventory adjustments
- Finance questions our accuracy every quarter
The volume keeps growing - we added 300 SKUs last quarter and Jessica is already working overtime. Can we build a case for automation software?
