Most businesses don't know what their inventory blind spots are actually costing them. In this episode, June and Jack dig into the real numbers behind poor inventory visibility — ghost stock, phantom inventory, stockouts, and the ripple effects that drain margins without anyone noticing. Then they break down whether NetSuite is actually the right tool for small and mid-sized product businesses, or whether it's just oversized and overpriced. And they close out with a deep dive into wholesale purchase order management — landed costs, partial shipments, and why spreadsheets fall apart the moment your supplier sends 80% of an order and backlogs the rest.
