One size does NOT fit all. That's why RockySoft provides an integrated set of modules to mix-and-match to best fit your particular business needs.

Four Core Distribution Modules Help You Discover, Plan, Procure & Track

1. Demand Manager
Demand Manager (DM) is an easy-to-use forecasting and inventory management tool to make better stocking decisions. Integrated demand-forecasting and inventory-planning software helps you effectively manage your on-hand inventory levels.

Benefits to You

  • Less inventory on the shelf
  • Higher fill rates
  • Better customer service

2. Requirements Planner
Requirements Planner (RP) is an advanced procurement application that fills many needs within a supply-chain network-including DRP and MRP. This powerful module is an active purchase order planner that suggests replenishment quantities by item at the warehouse level. RP suggests firm orders, coordinated with inventory targets, which feed into your base ERP application for review and release. Coupled with real-time forecast data from DM, you get a time-phased inventory-replenishment plan that matches your business's strategic objectives.

Benefits to You

  • Lower carrying costs
  • Improved productivity
  • Enhanced service levels and fill rates
  • Lower freight costs
  • Lower ordering costs

3. Economic Order Manager
Economic Order Manager (EOM) is a decision-support tool for management and purchasing agents that performs inventory valuation, including ABC analysis, service-level assignments, inventory simulation and performance monitoring. Planners have the ability to adjust inventory parameters that calculate the total cost of ordering and holding inventory. EOM is integrated with RP to optimize purchase from vendors and minimize inventory carrying expenses for the distributor.

Benefits to You

  • Inventory levels set to meet desired service levels and product-availability objectives
  • Reduced exposure to obsolete inventory
  • Reliable product delivery to customers
  • Decrease in lost sales

4. Exception Signals
Exception Signals (ES) is a tool to help you "manage by exception." ES offers customizable alerts when statistically significant variations from your inventory management plan occur. ES monitors exceptions, captures messages from each of the core modules and presents them to buyers and planners in a prioritized order. ES also lets you add a "reason for suspension" comment to an exception when you check it off. Think of ES as a live-action to-do list to help you proactively control problems before they get out of hand.

Benefits to You

  • Proactive alerting service keeps you ahead of the problems
  • More effective use of staff
  • Improved product availability
  • Minimized stock-outs and excess inventory
  • Happier customers

Demand Collaboration Portal (DCP) provides easy-to-use, browser-based access to external forecast information from customers, the sales force and other designated parties. Collaborate to build the most accurate forecasts by enabling key individuals to inject in real time pertinent market information.

2. Supply Base Manager
Supply Base Manager (EOM) is a browser-based application for monitoring vendor performance. Vendor performance history can be viewed and output by detailed receipts, Pareto chart, histogram, or summary format. SBM will calculate lead times based on actual vendor performance. Furthermore, supply assurance can be increased by incorporating "Safety Time" into purchasing lead-times and stock levels. Supply Base Analyzer (SBA), a component of SBM, provides dynamic supply reporting.

Benefits to You

  • Greater supply assurance
  • Improved product availability
  • Improves customer service level

3. Logistics Collaboration Portal
Logistics Collaboration Portal (LCP) is a tool designed to easily track the status of your purchase orders as they move through your supply chain. LCP features 100% customizable fields designed to accommodate each company's unique needs. Focus on the critical few fields of information which are at issue in the flow. Pass over the unessential.

Benefits to You

  • Improved in-transit visibility
  • Reduced expedite expense

  • Reliable promise dates for your customers

4. Enterprise Metrics
Enterprise Metrics (EM) assists with reviewing and analyzing key performance indicators such as past service level, inventory movement, fill rate and performance. Course corrections with up-to-date insight can be made to improve future performance. While it is exclusively backward-looking in terms of the data it evaluates, forward momentum can be maintained by viewing trends as they emerge. When teamed with Sales & Operations Planner, users can receive immediate feedback on how changes are affecting their climb to the top.

Benefits to You

  • Complete, accurate information for better decision making
  • Extensive reporting capabilites
  • Less time spent researching information and assembling reports

S&OP lets you analyze the effects demand plans are having on your company's bottom line. You can use S&OP to analyze historical sales performance, for strategic demand and revenue planning and to coordinate the market demand with the operational departments of your organization.
