Question about inventory counts after our system crashed

Our warehouse management software went down for a full 8 hours on Tuesday. Everyone said to just wait it out, but I insisted we do a manual count of the high-value items. Found a discrepancy of 15 units on a single SKU that would have been missed. What's your backup plan when your main ops system fails?

Wait, people actually just sit around when the system dies? Our backup plan is a giant whiteboard and pure chaos, but at least we know where stuff is. Good catch on those missing units, that's a huge win.

Isn't it wild how we build these perfect digital systems that just vanish when the power blinks? It's like when your smart lights freeze and you're just standing in the dark, or your car key fob dies and you're locked out of your own car. We get so used to the tech working that we forget how to do the basic stuff without it. That whiteboard chaos is honestly more real than any server that can just disappear.
