In today's world of uncertainty, when retail across the world is crying, it is important that cash flow of the business is preserved for long term sustainability. One of the best ways to do is to manage the inventory of the business, where maximum cash of the retailers is invested. We can effectively do this using OTB ( open to Buy) management.
