The inventory process is carried out in every business and state company and is typically obligatory. The support of an efficient IT system in a retail store is one of the most important leading factors improving the efficiency of key business processes, including the inventory process. One of the leading improvements in this process is the ability to enforce data entry. Another factor is the use of modern code readers. This is connected to the necessity to implement many improvements and modernization. However, these costs are completely justified in improving the company’s operation. Our paper is dedicated to eliciting the ways for increasing the efficiency of the inventory process in the retail network. Our empirical findings are based on the ERPwincash IT system that is the product developed by the authors and used in Polish business companies. Our results show that professional and modern support of business processes, including the inventory process, is associated not only with the simplification of processes, but also prevents unwanted incidents.
