What gets in the way
Small treats, large food bags and boxed accessories take different space. Similar branding can hide size differences during a count or refill.
A selling shelf may hold only a few units while larger quantities wait in storage. The team needs to know which location requires action.
A promotional bay can involve stockroom staff and floor staff, with different tasks that need named owners.
How headoffis helps
Identify each packaged variant
Use separate product records for sizes, flavors and pack types that are counted independently. Measure the outer package for the planned orientation.

Good to know
