Spring cleaning is not just limited to your home, but it can also be applied to your business, particularly your inventory management.
Take Inventory of Your Retail Products

Get Rid of Expired or Outdated Products

Ensure you are organized digitally as well. Create product categories through your inventory departments and classes with your Envision account to monitor the types of products and which brands you still have in stock. It will also make it easier for staff to check out customers.
