In the production environment, the problem of smuggling goods out not only causes great economic loss but also affects the reputation of the business. Some companies produce products for export and do not sell them domestically, but they often find that some non-exported products are sold domestically. To handle this problem, leaders have to spend a lot of time reviewing, querying the causes, and handling related parties. This situation results in the loss of goods and sensitive information.Therefore, businesses can choose to prevent smuggled goods with ERP.
Reasons leading to goods being smuggled out include:
1. Lax management: lack of strict internal control measures.
2. Dishonest employees: Some employees take advantage of loopholes to smuggle goods out.
3. Lack of monitoring technology: Businesses do not apply modern technology to monitor and control goods.
