Episode Synopsis

A brand new business might be able to rely on manual processes–but not for long. In this episode of Ops Unfiltered, Luminous co-founder and president Jared Ward, Luminous CTO Brendon Beebe, and Luminous head of implementation Josh Sanders shared what it means to select the right inventory management software. 

The speakers explore how business growth, especially in wholesale, and increasing operational complexity drive the need for more sophisticated inventory management solutions. Where Excel spreadsheets might work for a handful of sales, complicated inventory and multiple systems can quickly turn into a disaster. 

Here are some of the things an e-commerce business must determine:

▪️ The Who: Different roles will have a different input on what a company needs

▪️ The What: An e-commerce company will need various improvements from a system, including better inventory accuracy, easier accounting, and more efficient order processing.

▪️ The When: E-commerce companies will need to determine how long they want a system to stay. Should it meet the needs of now, or the needs of the future?

▪️ The Where: Will a new system fit in the existing processes of the business?

▪️ The Why: Teams should consider which system makes the most sense, and the pros and cons of each option available to them.
