CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Since this company is direct selling, we
suggest that instead of their old method,
they should use barcodes and scanners. It would easily identify each product and would
be more time efficient compared to writing the product one by one using receipts. They
should assign a unique barcode to identify the product name and direct selling
company; since nowadays, retailers utilize bar coding for inventory control, which is
crucial to the success of their businesses. Inventory cycle counts, point-of-sale
checkout, purchasing, and sales analysis are just a few of the benefits of a retail
barcode system.
The barcodes then would be recorded in a worksheet and then printed.
It would be most helpful in a wholesale company because they will be receiving orders

in bulk. To avoid taking too much time and forgetting to record a certain item, scanning
the product would make their work
In today's business environment, staying competitive is critical to your success.
