Inventory apps that require point-counting or the slider would like you to think that this is as accurate as weighing bottles, but it’s not even close. Point-counting and sliders have a 10 – 12% margin of error vs. the 2% margin of error of the Bluetooth scale.

With a sitting inventory of $12,000, that 10% difference can mean a $1,200 discrepancy in your sitting inventory numbers which greatly skews your cost and variance percentage numbers, giving you an inaccurate assessment of what’s going on in your business.
