Abstract

Inventory control is a key factor in ensuring a balance between supply and demand, optimizing financial resources, and improving strategic decision-making. This research sought to analyze the influence of inventory control on the profitability of businesses in San Cayetano Passage, Chone Canton, Manabí Province, Ecuador. To this end, documentary and descriptive methods were used to detail the phenomena under study. A survey was also conducted among entrepreneurs in San Cayetano Passage, Chone Canton, to determine their perceptions of profitability and inventory control practices. However, the results of the survey of 43 local entrepreneurs reveal significant deficiencies in inventory management, transaction recording, and profitability strategies. Therefore, a digital tool was designed to improve profitability through inventory control.
