Hence, nowadays many warehouse or inventory managers are making use of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and inventory management solutions to simplify their work. Most business analysts believe that using an ERP solution is far better than using an inventory management tool because an inventory management solution only helps in tracking the items in the warehouse, whereas an ERP solution also helps in better utilizing the employees working in the warehouse.
