Answer 1

Use of digital technology like bar coding.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inventory control is the method of coordinating and supervising the supply, storage and distribution of materials from one's store. It also refers to keeping a record of the things to maintain the list of what was sold and what is needed for further sale. This will ensure that there is no excessive supply or loss of material.

If one has a grocery store, using bar code which would digitally enter the material in the database of the computer will be an efficient way for inventory control. Even the return of the item can be controlled easily using the bar code system. The item is scanned using the bar code and its entry is maintained. In case of sale of that item, quantity is automatically controlled.
