Running a multi-site business that deals with physical products can be a rewarding venture, but it comes with its fair share of challenges.

One of the most daunting tasks is maintaining tight control over your inventory. How do you ensure that inventory shrinkage from internal and external theft, wastage, and incorrect deliveries doesn't adversely impact your bottom line, especially when you can't be physically present at all your locations simultaneously?

The hospitality industry, in particular, faces unique challenges such as high levels of internal employee theft and unrecorded wastage.

Implementing a MYPOS 10 EPOS system for inventory management, which includes features like purchase orders, delivery notes, and stock counts, can be a game-changer for businesses in the hospitality sector.
