With this new dusty inventory report, that’s something we’re very happy with because one of our big issues was being able to identify how well products are selling versus how much we need to stock. So we’ve had a quite a big mismatch between, like, our managers stocking products and then actually selling them in the appropriate amounts. So this is very, very helpful.
