Stock keeping unit (SKU) could be a dummy number, and you might feel how important a number could be. Well, your SKU is a binding thread that ties all your business processes that interact with your products. You could quickly outgrow your SKU numbering strategy if you don't have a flexible numbering scheme to accommodate your near future requirements. The SKU numbers could also impact your customer experience as they are used internally to identify your products. They are also used externally to cross-reference vendor part numbers and search products inside a store or on order forms and invoices.In today's episode, we invited an expert panel of cross-functional experts for a live interview on LinkedIn who brings significant expertise with the SKU numbering scheme and e-commerce to discuss how SKU numbers impact your business processes.
