Inventory accuracy means your system stock matches reality. When it does not, every downstream process suffers: purchasing, production, fulfillment, forecasting, and finance.
Many teams think they have an inventory problem, when they actually have an accuracy problem.
The good news: inventory accuracy can improve dramatically with stronger processes and better tools.
