If your inventory system says you have 25 units, but there are only 18 on the shelf, you’ve got a problem. And it’s costing you far more than you think.

• The ripple effects of understocking, overstocking, and bad data
• How one retailer saved $10,000+ just by switching to RFID
• What makes RFID a total game changer for Shopify store owners
• Why smaller, growing retailers actually benefit the most from this tech
• How to stop flying blind and finally take control of your numbers

Whether you’re running your store solo or managing a small team, this episode shows you why accuracy isn’t optional, it’s essential.
