Supply Planning and Optimization

Ensure customer service levels remain high while costs are minimized.

Prioritize exception-driven workflows and support planners to quickly focus on and resolve situations where supply and demand are out of balance.

Improve inventory management and boost profits.

Enable full collaboration across simple and complex distribution networks.

Get a clear, future view of your business needs, and anticipate – rather than react to – customer needs and supplier requirements.

Consider transportation constraints, alternative routing and respond to dynamic market demand quicker and with greater confidence.

Automate continuous replenishment strategies such as Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR).

Monitor plans and receive alerts to inventory and service level exceptions such as stock-outs, minimum inventory and replenishment cycles.

Optimize inventory levels leading to accelerated inventory turns; reduce obsolete inventory. Ensure inventory placement considers shelf-life and substitutions for optimal fresh item management. 

Leverage a variety of safety stock methods and order policies to efficiently manage fast, sporadic and slow-moving inventory.
