Omnichannel retailing during the pandemic has placed one hell of a premium on inventory accuracy in stores and throughout the supply chain. But so much of the legacy store level and DC level infrastructure is not equipped to give us the data and level of accuracy that we need to meet these new demands. Kris Barton of Avery Dennison and Umesh Umesh Cooduvalli of Detego join Chris Walton for the latest installment of the Omni Talk Spotlight Series to discuss why RFID may just be the answer. Together they explore how RFID can: - Greatly improve store level inventory accuracy - Improve your performance on buy online, pickup in store - Reduce the amount of split shipments out of your stores - And give you a leg up on the future More and more stores are becoming like mini-warehouses, so the premium on inventory accuracy will soon be at an all-time high (if it isn't already). *Sponsored Content*

So much from the past is long gone — corded phones, the food pyramid, writing checks at the grocery store. But on the flip side, there are things from years gone by that have come back — mom jeans anyone? And then, there are the things that last the test of time. Traditions, styles, and yes, even businesses. Pioneer Linens is one of those companies that has stood strong for more than 100 years and sure, it has gone through its fair share of changes and pivots over the years, but as President, Penny Murphy, told me on this episode of Up Next in Commerce, the commitment to serving its customers has remained through it all. And today, Pioneer Linens is succeeding by giving customers the best experience not just in-store, but online as well. In fact, Pioneer moved into the ecommerce world way back in the 1990s, and Penny led the charge. We got into that story and dug into the company's long history, the lessons Penny and her daughters have carried into running the business today, and where this century-old company is headed next. Enjoy this episode!Main Takeaways:A Lasting Legacy: Although a company may pivot or change throughout its history, what customers remember most is the experience they had and the people within the company they interacted with. No matter where your business is headed, the most important thing to remember is to create the best customer experience possible and connect with customers as much as you can.Lessons From The Past: Even if you don't have a 100-year company history to rely on, you can always look to the past for trends and ideas that are likely to come back around. There is a saying that history repeats itself — and it's true. So be a student of history and prepare yourself with knowledge of what has happened before so you can be ready for the future.Instant Gratification: Although it is sometimes risky to carry a lot of inventory, it's equally risky to not have enough of what customers want readily available. When customers shop, they are often looking to solve a problem right now, and if you can't meet their needs, you will lose out on a sale today, and also the possibility of future sales from that same customer.For an in-depth look at this episode, check out the full transcript below.

The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) is used widely in large Christian ministries, Christian higher ed, and mission-sending agencies. Theologian, Krista Bontrager, sat down with Dr. Heather Peterson (Associate Professor of English and Literature) to discuss this popular assessment, challenging some of the foundational assumptions of the tool when compared to a Christian worldview.

This week on the eCommerce Braintrust podcast, Kiri recaps a video she shared on LinkedIn and reads some comments she has received since. She talks about the supply chain disruptions and how they will affect the timing of sales events in the future, two themes conflated from two of her favorite podcasts (linked below).  Ports, warehouses and trucking lines are all backed up with inventory, and there may actually be an excess of inventory in the system due to retailers increasing their orders in a bid to get ahead. Eventually, the logjam will be resolved, but what will happen to the excess inventory?  Make sure you tune in to find out more!

In this episode, Nicole discusses having too much stock on hand, reasons that it can happen, how it impacts the business, as well as a few tips on how to better manage stock levels to free up cash for the practice.For more information about Inventory Ally, check out: www.inventoryally.comFor show notes, podcast information, and more, check out: www.vetlogic.co/podcast

Zillow quickly became the first step for buyers and sellers due to their instant connection to tons of real estate information. However, the disruptor ran into some big issues when it tried to add buying and selling to its repertoire. The issue? Not enough hands to make the purchase and selling process as seamless as they wanted. As a result, the iBuyer program was paused then abandoned shortly after. Joe Cucchiara and Jack Russo discuss if digital buying programs still have promise in our future and how much longer traditional broker relationships can survive automated home sales.   To learn more, simply visit www.RERadioLive.com.

Episode 125: If you sell heavy-duty parts, you know that predicting how much inventory you will need in each region is very difficult.  Get it right, and revenue will go up, get it wrong and you risk losing customers to competitors who have the inventory in stock. So, how can you predict how much inventory you need in each region? In this episode, Mark Hazel, Associate Director for Commercial Vehicle Reporting from IHS Markit answers that question for us.  He has 10 years of diverse experience in the automotive industry, working across the supply chain. His background includes pricing strategy experience with car-sharing start-ups, as well as forecasting and demand planning for light and heavy-duty automotive suppliers. Most recently, Mark was part of the aftermarket division at ZF (formerly Wabco) in product management for their air dryer management systems.Show Notes: Visit HeavyDutyPartsReport.com  for complete show notes of this episode, links to resources mentioned in the episode, and to subscribe to all our content.

We cannot deny the power of storytelling in today's sales and marketing environment.  One of the instructions I had earlier in this process was "Inventory your stories."  Don't place judgment on them, just list each one with a one sentence reminder.  Good or bad.  I'm starting to see the payoff of that now. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: contact@belove.mediaFor social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:01 On the last episode, I spoke about two things, specifically spoke about a lot of stuff, but two main points. One was the illusion of overnight success. And that the reality is for a huge amount of people. It's that luck that illusion of luck that we may see in somebody is actually, I love this definition love, or excuse me, luck is where preparation meets opportunity. One of my mentors in the loan business Darren Riley told me about that, told me that saying, I can't remember who said it. He referenced somebody it's probably a famous football coach. But,uand then the other was that, you know, embracing the vision that's popping into your head and then printing out a,uuua picture of that and slamming it on your wall and,um. Morning. A cute girl with cute dog, just rode by and,usorry about the diversion.Mischa Z: 01:16 Yeah, so I wanted to continue a little bit on that theme and, and say. That yes the vision, the thoughts of the creative thoughts in a new direction and, and my course correction and who I can help and how I can be of service is coming through loud and strong. And I will be jumping on stage too at this point, Kiss's God of Thunder. And yeah, and I had a new point. I was going to talk about it was that, oh yeah. So, and a lot, there's, there's a lot of storytelling going on in online marketing. Obviously you've got to be able to tell a story, craft a story, have it be poignant. Have it, you know, connect the dots, have it inspire in, you know movement orders, transformation in people, all these things. There's always all this important stuff, important reasons to tell stories and learn how to tell stories and tell the right story at the right time. And we're about to cross the street. So I'm going to pause. So you get lots of good reasons to tell stories, and there's ultimately the shortest form of little blips on the social media, where you might do posts that convey emotion.Mischa Z: 03:09 But I, so it's important to have a catalog of stories and one of the things and the Dot Com Secrets, you know, playbook, shall we say, or manual to online business success is having a catalog of stories. So he had us do an exercise. He has, you do an exercise. And I did this exercise, and it's really interesting because it's materializing in, in a presentation, my subconscious and now coming out in my conscious if you're tracking, me still. So, so just to, you know, I was listening to Kiss's God of thunder and just had it looping because it's such a fun song and reminding me of my youth and all this. And then over the past few days as this creativity, new direction, new vision has been flowing through and ideas for a presentation have been absolutely coming together and manifesting and all these stories slowly sliding in at the right places and such.Mischa Z: 04:36 And as I was recording the last episode I realized, oh my gosh, I had totally forgot that I had done that step of inventorying stories of my life. And it's a great, great idea. And you don't have to write out all the stories, all you have to do as a, like a bullet point sentence. And so I was writing them down, writing them down, writing them down and, you know, there's, you have to stop and do it. You have to stop and write those down. You have to stop and think, and I can tell you that maybe I did it for an hour plus or minus. I can't remember exactly right. It might, I'll have to go through my notes or done it over a couple of days at different times. But starting to think in that direction and not putting judgment on whether the story is good or bad, right or wrong, I need to use this story or not. Just inventorying all the stories of your life.Mischa Z: 05:51 And I don't mean like bad stories. You're telling yourself that are holding you down. You know what I'm saying? There's, there's stories of our life like really, good, bad that have this sort of meeting or that sort of meeting this lesson, that lesson, or have no lesson whatsoever that we can think of at the moment. Just write it down. Inventory, your stories. Don't place judgment on them. Don't think too much. Don't read too much into it, just inventory your stories. So that's what I did. And now, so I probably did that 6, 7, 8 months ago. And so now, as I'm, you know, I meditated this morning. I did my A Course In Miracles work, which is basically, you know, the way. So the literature I read now to tap into source higher power the infinite intelligence, God, I don't care, call it whatever you want, good order get ordered the orderly direction.Mischa Z: 07:04 But those that the stories are popping up and into this presentation. Who knows where the presentation goes, maybe it's for a webinar, maybe it's for, I don't know. It's maybe I create a course. And so I need stories to, to, you know, to emphasize points within the course. Or there's just all of these cool reasons for it. But it's all percolating and, and coming together and I just think it's so cool. Hey, follow the instructions. Don't think too much into it. You don't need to know why or believe it, just do it. And then when the right time, the results from those actions will, will manifest and that's what's happening. It's super fun. Anyway, I, you know, it's super fun. What do people say, visualize it as though it's happened, then you can, then you'll, your subconscious will grow to that direction. And you can actually feel the feelings now, which I was, as I was walking, it was beautiful. And so now when it happens, I'll already be moving on to bigger things or maybe bigger is not the right word. That implies ego in my mind to new fun things from there. Anyway, I could go on and on about this. I'm trying to be mindful of time, love to all. Follow the instructions of the plan that is being handed to you. Whether that's for me, Russell Brunson or somebody else. Trust the process, make it happen one day at a time. Love to all. I'm out.

Have you had a buyer client recently lose out in a multiple offer situation? Is inventory still low? Are you familiar with the term appraisal gap? Do you have an idea what it is or how to apply it? This episode is for you if you want to learn more about finding potential sellers in a low inventory market & the appraisal gap. My guest, Regan Maki, and I will be digging deep into these topics. Regan is a coaching client of mine, a top agent, and team leader of a $95m+ team in Atlanta, Georgia with Compass. Regan's been in real estate for 21 years now. Over the years, her knowledge and wisdom have expanded, and she has loads of information to share with us. When the Covid pandemic started, Regan thought that business would come to a halt. Little did she know that things were about to get better. Regan confesses that 2020 ended up being one of their best years in business. In this episode, we'll talk about how Regan and her team managed it through the pandemic, how she is diversifying into luxury homes, and how to handle finding off-market sellers as well as appraisal gaps. Listen and learn.   Connect with Regan Maki:  Cellphone: 404-304-6452 Website: https://reganmaki.com/ Email: reganmaki@gmail.com “As a buyer, in today's market, you are having to get so creative, and tight on all the contingencies that you're putting in an offer.”  -Regan Maki Three Things You'll Learn from this Episode - There is always room for learning: Despite being in the industry for 21 years, Regan believes that you can never have too many tools in your toolbox. She has enrolled in my coaching program, which will help her get even better at selling luxury homes.    - The Appraisal Gap: When there is a listed property with multiple offers, you can apply an appraisal gap to get the property. An appraisal gap is a difference between the fair market value determined by the appraiser and the amount you agreed to pay for the home. - Dealing with low inventory: When dealing with a low inventory period, you can always ask a buyer how much they are willing to spend on a property. Then reach out to people in the area with the offer to see who is ready to sell.   Guest Bio:  Regan has been a licensed Realtor in Georgia for over 20 years. She has also played a role on the Zillow Agent Advisory Board since 2017. The Regan Maki Team has been listed in the Wall Street Journal RealTrends as the #6 Team in Georgia, #1 Zillow recommended Realtor in North Atlanta, and RealTrends top 500 teams Nationwide.         

Zillow has officially announced the end of it's iBuying program, Zillow Offers. The announcement comes just a few weeks after the company said it wouldn't be buying any more homes this year. And then there were reports that Zillow would be offloading thousands of homes at a discount.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.The iBuying frenzy has been growing among several competitors including Zillow, Redfin, Opendoor, Offerpad and others. There was a pause in those programs during the pandemic, but the iBuyers were back in full swing this year. And Zillow was one of the more exuberant ones.Home Price ForecastingBut Zillow apparently miscalculated the value of the homes it was buying. The company's financial results show a $304 million write-down for the homes that were purchased for more than it can sell them for. It expects to lose another $240 to $265 million for homes that it is contracted to purchase in the next quarter.CEO Rich Barton told investors: “We've determined the unpredictability in forecasting home prices far exceeds what we anticipated and continuing to scale Zillow Offers would result in too much earnings and balance-sheet volatility.” (1)Zillow now expects to wind the home-flipping arm of its business down over several months. That includes a 25% reduction in its workforce, which will impact about 2,000 employees.Zillow's iBuying BingeThe company has been on a buying binge. According to the Wall Street Journal, Zillow bought 3,800 homes in the second quarter, and ended the third quarter with an inventory of almost 10,000 homes and another 8,000 homes under contract to buy. It only sold about 3,000 homes, and many were sold at a loss. The Journal says that Zillow also expects to lose between 5% and 7% on the remaining homes. (2)An analyst for KeyBanc looked at the financials for 650 homes in Zillow's inventory. That's about one-fifth of the homes the company owns. As reported by MarketWatch, he found that Zillow was selling two-thirds of them at a discount of 4.5%. Most of the discounted homes that he found are in San Diego; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Las Vegas. (3)Offloading Homes to InvestorsAccording to Bloomberg, Zillow is hoping to sell about 7,000 homes to institutional investors for close to $2.8 billion. The report says they will likely be sold to various buyers, and not as a single sale. (4)Barton founded the company 16 years ago. The iBuying arm of the business is relatively new. Barton wanted to hit 5,000 home flips a month and had predicted, last year, that Zillow Offers could generate $20 billion a year. What Went Wrong?Zillow has been an aggressive player in the iBuying market, offering more than competitors. That won Zillow some homes, but in markets that may have cooled off slightly, the anticipated price growth didn't materialize. It sounds a little like the scenario in 2005 when people thought home prices only go up. Right now, they are still going up, but Zillow apparently miscalculated by how much. The New York Times also reports that the company underestimated the risk of holding homes for too long between a purchase and a sale. (5) Zillow had previously said that labor and material shortages were impacting the business. The company couldn't turn them around fast enough. And that's a huge departure from a relatively risk free business model that Zillow was founded on.Barton and Zillow's CFO, Allen Parker, said in a shareholder letter: “Our aim was to become a market maker, not a market risk taker.” On a more positive note, there will be thousands of homes hitting the market at a discount from the previous sale price, and possibly of interest to investors both big and small.You'll find links to our sources in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.

The first challenge of e-commerce: keeping track of inventory. It can be a nail-biting affair to predict exactly how much product to order or create, without knowing exactly how much people will buy. Too much, and you lose money on overhead. Too little, and you lose money on lost sales and slow fulfillment.
