Wholesale Inventory Management
The wholesale industry is on an upswing after a couple of chaotic years. The wholesale market value is predicted to rise to over $64 trillion by 2025 at an annual compound rate of 7%, up from $49.3 trillion1. Unlike some industries facing continuous disruptions from supply chain issues, the wholesale industry is making a comeback against the obstacles it faced.
However, if wholesalers have learned anything over the last couple of years, it is to be prepared against unforeseen events externally, but also internally. To grow into the future and fortify against unpredictability, introducing powerful wholesale inventory management would be a wise investment.
Instead of simply managing the stresses of inventory shortages and overstocking, poor visibility, and operating omni-channel sales, wholesale inventory management clears the path, eliminates a great deal of obstacles, and allows a wholesaler to increase profit margins and cash flow.

Wholesale Inventory Management for QuickBooks
