What is the main goal of proper inventory management in nurseries?

The main goal of proper inventory management in nurseries is to ensure healthy plant availability and reduce waste. Effective inventory management ensures that nurseries maintain the right amount of stock to meet customer demand without overstocking or understocking. When inventory is managed well, it helps in selecting the right varieties and quantities of plants to offer, which leads to healthier plants that are ready for sale. It also minimizes losses that might occur from plants not being sold in time and subsequently dying or degrading in quality, thus reducing waste. This efficient management contributes to sustainable practices within the nursery sector, supporting long-term operational viability.
