A method and system for inventory management includes a communication device at each of a plurality of point of sale locations communicatively coupled to a distribution center. Each communication device stores initial inventory information; periodically determines whether an item has been sold, and when an item has been sold, stores the sold item information; stores accumulated inventory information comprising the initial inventory information and the sold item information; and transmits the accumulated inventory information. The distribution center receives the accumulated inventory information; evaluates a current inventory at each of the point of sale locations using the received accumulated inventory information; identifies a demand information comprising an adequate supply of items to ship to each of the point of sale locations using the associated evaluated current inventory; and programs suppliers to meet the point of sale locations' needs using the demand information.
