Streamline Your Disrupted Supply Network for Swift Delivery of Goods to Your Consumers

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, small businesses have faced significant challenges in managing their supply chains. One solution that's gaining traction is the use of inventory tracking tools, such as Zoho Inventory.

Victoria Jones, a member of Zoho's customer advocacy team and an Evangelist, is a frequent speaker and trainer on digital collaboration, AI, and privacy. She strongly advocates for the use of Zoho Inventory, particularly in automating reorder points and reorder quantities.

The pandemic has highlighted the importance of efficient inventory management. If one person in a company's supply chain contracted COVID, anyone they were in contact with had to be out for 14 days. This multiplied across the many companies in a supply chain has caused a significant problem in recovery.

Zoho Inventory can help manage inventory more efficiently, especially in the context of supply chain issues. It can assist in picking and packing items in a warehouse, helping deliver products to customers more quickly. Moreover, it learns customer ordering patterns over time to become more cost-efficient.

Not getting a part for two weeks has become a reality for small businesses, making a change in inventory management necessary. Using Zoho Inventory can reduce cash investment in inventory, ensuring a more streamlined and cost-effective operation.

Victoria Jones believes that some tasks in companies can only be done by one person because processes are not well documented. She focuses on creating Zoho-centered educational content to support and empower customers, aiming to solve this issue.

The effectiveness of inventory tracking is being emphasized due to the pandemic's impact on supply chains. Victoria Jones stated that we can't take getting products quickly for granted. She recommends that small businesses embrace tools like Zoho Inventory to help them recover from the pandemic's impact on their supply chains and secure a smoother path to profitability.

A recent interview with Victoria Jones on The Small Business Radio Show is available for listening, providing further insights into how Zoho Inventory can benefit small businesses.
