In general, inventory management refers to the method by which businesses handle tangible resources and materials in order to make sure resources are readily available for use. The objective of inventory management is to provide uninterrupted production, sales, and/or customer-service levels at the minimum cost. Since for many companies inventory is the largest item in the current assets category, inventory problems can and do contribute to losses or even business failures.

Mobile Computer - A key component in an Inventory Management Solution is a mobile computer.
