ITPEC IP October 2024 — Question 87 of 100
A POS system supports better merchandise selection, ordering, and inventory control at each store. Point-of-sale data records what item sold, where, when, in what quantity, and often at what price. Analyzing this timely item-level demand helps retailers adjust assortment, replenish popular products, reduce stockouts and excess stock, and evaluate promotions.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) improving salesperson activity and sales-organization strength is associated with sales-force automation
- (b) controlling parts and work-in-process inventory is a manufacturing-planning concern
- (c) optimizing procurement through production, shipping, and sales describes SCM
Key rule: POS captures retail sales at the checkout and turns them into demand information for store operations and inventory decisions.
