The term cerebral refers to the brain; palsy refers to the loss or impairment of motor function.

  • by the continually updating inventory records, it gives a more accurate picture of costs of goods sold (COGS) and overal profiitability = Improved financial accuracy
  • Continous monitoring of inventory helpfs identify discrepancies due to theft or wastage more quickly = enhanced theft and loss prevention
