1. Impact of cloud computing on asset & inventory
management: 5 facts you shouldn’t ignore

2. It’s indeed shocking to know that more than 40% of small businesses never track their inventory and a
whopping 67% of supply chain managers use spreadsheets to manage their assets and track the flow
of inventory.
In 2020, it was found that the value of out-of-stock items across the world was $1.4 trillion.
During the pandemic in 2020, losses due to supply chain mismanagement and lack of a centralized
system rose to $4 trillion, and well, this is indeed unfortunate.
Trillions of dollars can be saved and used in other business-growth activities if organizations across
the globe deploy a cutting-edge, and tech-powered solution for asset and inventory management.

3. Cloud computing has been hailed as a savior for manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, and any business, which
needs to monitor, track and optimize inventory tracking and asset management.
A cloud-based inventory and asset management can be described as a SaaS-based platform (Software As a
Service), which empowers businesses to track and monitor their assets, inventory status, and logistics in real-time,
and get accurate business insights to make a smart business decisions.
Traditionally, companies used to perform this manually, with pen and paper, or spreadsheets. And this is the
reason that $4 trillion was lost suddenly when Covid hit the masses, and businesses were shut down.

Management: An Introduction

4. Check out some common, and most popular features of a typical Cloud-based Asset and

Some real facts: Two years, it was reported that globally, there exist overstocked items worth
$176.7 billion and $568.7 billion worth of out-of-stock goods inside inventories, across the
world.
This is indeed shocking, and sheer wastage of resources.
Once you introduce Cloud into the whole gamut of asset and inventory management, then it
automatically optimizes the operations and empowers the management to take the right
decisions, at the right time.

6. Businesses can automate most of the critical processes and operations when it
comes to asset and inventory management, and thus, induce a system that is
programmed to bring in results. Activities such as product tracking, multi-channel
routing, inventory counts, and more can be fully automated with Cloud-based
inventory management system. Cloud computing has the capabilities to
completely streamline and automate supply chain operations.
Here are the major impact of the Cloud on asset management and inventory tracking, which you
shouldn’t ignore:
Unprecedented Automation

7. Real-Time Business Intelligence
Now, this is one of the biggest advantages of Cloud-based asset and inventory
management operations. Businesses are now able to get real-time visibility of
their inventory position and remove physical barriers such as time and location
to accurately track their inventory. With real-time information about the supply,
demand and inventory status, management knows exactly where their business
is going, and at which speed.

8. Seamless Integrations With 3rd Party Tools
Various 3rd party tools such as order fulfillment apps and distribution software, CRM, sales
and marketing tools, accounting software and more can be seamlessly integrated with a
Cloud-based asset and inventory management system, giving wings to your operational
capabilities.
Safety, Security & Peace of Mind
Standalone, and outdated systems can be easily hacked, and manipulated by hackers who
can steal valuable data from your inventory, and harm your business prospects. With Cloud
platforms such as AWS and Microsoft, there exist several layers of data security and safety,
which translates to peace of mind.

9. Advanced Analytics & Data Monitoring
Cloud-based asset and inventory management systems can also have data
analytics software, and data monitoring tools, which combined with real-
time insights can give unprecedented control and transparency over the
operations. Analytics can be effectively used to find the trends, and the
insights related to demand and supply, and this translates to powerful
business intelligence for optimizing all aspects of your operations.
