Streamlining Inventory Management

Inventory management is a critical pain point for bookstore owners. With the growth of online platforms and changing reading habits, the need for accurate inventory tracking has never been more pressing. TextSupport Sales PRO can assist in automating inventory inquiries, helping staff respond quickly to customer requests without needing to consult a computer. Staff can receive stock updates, manage orders, and alert suppliers all through SMS.
