    To ensure accurate inventory forecasting despite communication challenges with fleet operators, streamline processes using a centralized system or automated inventory management tools. These systems can sync real-time data on shipments and inventory levels, reducing the need for constant communication. Establish regular updates, like weekly reports, to keep everyone informed. Leverage historical data to anticipate stock levels and trends, and collaborate with other departments for additional insights. Maintaining a buffer stock also helps prevent stockouts or overstocking in case of delays. These strategies ensure forecasting remains accurate even with limited communication from fleet operators
