Your Situation

Maybe you’ve found yourself in one of these situations:

  • For the first few years of business, you were able to manage your inventory just fine, but now the company’s grown enough so that decisions about which items to carry, how much of each item to stock and where to inventory those items among your five warehouses are much tougher to make.
  • Or perhaps your home-grown inventory management application just can’t keep up with how your business is changing—you need something new in the way of supply chain and wholesale distribution software, but what’s easy to use? What promises a short learning curve?
  • Then there’s the forecasting problem: For some reason, what used to work just doesn’t get the job done now – now that your business is more complex.
  • Not to mention customer service—you’re keeping much more inventory on hand than you’d like to, simply to ensure that you can meet customer-requested order dates and quantities.
  • And now you need to think globally. What used to be supply chain management–domestic is now domestic and global.

Managing Inventory

Mismanaging your inventory could be costing you more than you realize. Effective management lets you reduce inventory costs and improve customer service levels, which means higher sales and profitability for your organization. Streamlined forecasting, planning and procurement makes managing inventory easy and efficient. And automating key variables that drive inventory costs, such as safety/buffer stock levels and reorder points, lets you make more informed, productive and consistent decisions about inventory levels.

Forecasting

Forecasting and demand planning are the largest levers when it comes to meeting customer service expectations and minimizing inventory expense. Both disciplines are the basis for establishing business plans, replenishment decisions and stocking schedules. And collaborating on future demand with your sales force and key customers can lead to improved product availability.

Replenishment Planning

With advanced replenishment processes in place, your organization can generate automated purchase order suggestions and support a multitude of products, vendors and distributors. A critical competency for any distribution company is the ability to effectively balance inventory investment and customer service levels. In a typical business with thousands of items, managing the replenishment process can be complex, to say the least. Putting advanced replenishment tools in place make processes both efficient and effective.
