Few processes can be identified as bottle necks and therefore an optimal solution to overcome these bottle necks is much desirable. If we talk about billing and inventory management process we will find that these two processes are required to run most optimally in order to achieve operational proficiency.
In a small retail store where inventory levels are not that much high manual processes can be used to maintain inventory levels and to place order for inventory.
