Have you ever worked at a warehouse? Companies keep inventories in a database. This database often does not reflect reality

I bought some lumber a few weeks ago. Bought a cedar board that they had in their inventory, went out to the lumberyard to find they were out of stock. Ended up swapping the it out for some cedar deck board they happened to have

The database is accurate to the information put into it.

Warehouse inventory/control is a great example of something that would be an incredibly poor fit for blockchain.
