Majority of the problems stem from not counting and labeling products properly;
for example, if amount of Red Oak stock is not known, it'll cause excessive or insufficient
inventory levels, it'll also cause unnecessary motion, and delays.
Solutions we offer address, counting, inventory, and movement of products.
Sierra DigiTally Standard resolves counting and labeling issues, while Sierra DigiTally
Inventory handles inventory and movement or transactions.
