Just-in-Time Inventory

Just-in-time inventory is an approach that replenishes grocery stock close to when it is needed, reducing the amount held in stores or warehouses while relying on accurate demand and supply data.

Why it matters

For perishable and fast-moving products, just-in-time inventory can reduce waste and storage costs, but it depends on accurate inventory to avoid out-of-stocks and substitutions.
