- 13:12have
- 13:12inventory,
- 13:12yes
- 13:13or
- 13:13no?
- 13:13And
- 13:14then
- 13:14we
- 13:14gravitated
- 13:15towards,
- 13:15we
- 13:15have
- 13:1510
- 13:16of
- 13:16these,
- 13:16but
- 13:17the
- 13:17retailer
- 13:17probably
- 13:18had
- 13:1815.
- 13:18They
- 13:19just
- 13:19are
- 13:19being

- 13:22And
- 13:22they
- 13:22don't
- 13:22want
- 13:22somebody
- 13:23to
- 13:23be
- 13:23disappointed.
- 13:25And
- 13:25so
- 13:25now
- 13:25this
- 13:26technology,
- 13:27when
- 13:27combined
- 13:27with
- 13:28the

- 13:3498%.
- 13:35So
- 13:35think
- 13:35of
- 13:36a
- 13:36constant
- 13:36rolling
- 13:37cycle
- 13:37count.
- 13:39With

- 13:49Wow.
- 13:49We
- 13:49all
- 13:49have
- 13:49trust
- 13:50issues.
- 13:50So
- 13:51they'll
- 13:51go
- 13:51audit
- 13:51and
- 13:52just
- 13:52make
- 13:52sure
- 13:52everything's
- 13:53working.
- 13:54You
- 13:54know,
- 13:54that's
- 13:55just
- 13:55always
- 13:55going
- 13:55to
- 13:55be
- 13:56the
- 13:56case,
- 13:56right?
- 13:56Sure,
- 13:57sure.
- 13:57But
- 13:58because
- 13:59they
- 13:59know
- 14:01where
- 14:02everything's
- 14:02at
- 14:02and
- 14:03how
- 14:03much
- 14:03they
- 14:03have,
- 14:04you
- 14:04now
- 14:05create
- 14:05a
- 14:05situation
- 14:06that
- 14:06we
- 14:06were
- 14:06aware
- 14:07of

- 14:08our
- 14:08software
- 14:08roadmap.
- 14:09But
- 14:09I
- 14:09don't
- 14:10think
- 14:10anyone
- 14:11knew
- 14:11how
- 14:12important
- 14:12it
- 14:12would
- 14:12become

- 14:18another
- 14:18area
- 14:19of
- 14:19the

- 14:19So
- 14:20now
- 14:20you
- 14:20can
- 14:20have
- 14:21a
- 14:21situation
- 14:21where
