1. Inventory System

Inventory management, or stock control, is the process by which a company keeps track of its
stuff. For a small business, the inventory management system consists on keeping track of
items with Excel or Quickbooks or even pencil and paper may be sufficient, but as the business
grows so does the complexity of the task. Eventually a company adopts an inventory
management system to bring organization and consistency to its records.

Inventory is an accounting term that refers to goods that are in various stages of being made
ready for sale, including: Finished goods (that are available to be sold) Work-in-progress
(meaning in the process of being made) Raw materials (to be used to produce more finished
goods)
