Before any data conversion, one critical step is often overlooked: the integrity of physical inventory. At DBC, we’ve seen firsthand how this step is essential to ensure a smooth and successful transition to a new system.
Conducting a physical inventory allows organizations to verify the actual quantity and condition of assets—which often differs from what is recorded in legacy systems. This reconciliation is key to avoiding the transfer of outdated or inaccurate data, which could lead to costly errors once the new system is live.
It’s also an excellent way to prepare for audits by providing a complete, up-to-date view of available resources. For companies with complex inventories or undergoing major technological upgrades, this step becomes even more strategic.
Accurate inventory data significantly reduces risks such as:
-
- – backorders;
- – overstocking;
- – or financial discrepancies.
It helps optimize supply chain operations in the newly implemented system.
In short, the physical inventory integrity is a key success factor.
It ensures inventory migration success and enables better resource utilization and informed decision-making after the conversion.
At DBC, we make this step part of every project to provide our clients with a strong and sustainable foundation for their digital transformation.
