The Gap Between Sales and Warehouse
In many businesses, the sales team and the warehouse operate as separate worlds. Sales staff promise delivery dates without knowing actual stock levels. Warehouse staff ship orders without knowing which customers are the highest priority. This disconnect leads to over-promising, stockouts, excess inventory, and ultimately unhappy customers.
