Making inventory serve the business strategy
Rising to the challenge
From designing an optimal supply chain network to service your customers, to designing an inventory strategy that fits with your business strategy, to meeting that perennial supply chain challenge of accurate demand planning and forecasting – inventory sits at the heart of any supply chain strategy. Too much of the wrong kind soaks up working capital and space, hampering your efficiency. Too little of the right kind and your customers will vote with their feet when you fail to supply.
Efficiency with effectiveness
The optimising of your inventory therefore goes far beyond sales histories and algorithms. You need to be able to deliver the right stuff to your customers, when they want it, where they want it, and at the right price. Our world class suite of software products assists us to implement a range of inventory and supply chain planning solutions not only to optimise inventory, but to link it to the business strategy through fully transparent management processes and methodologies. Beyond this, we can assist you to plan and implement the optimal design of your distribution network, provide you with best-of-breed supply chain modelling, and even provide you with a more environmentally-friendly supply chain through our patented emissions modelling software.
Turning inventory risk into supply chain opportunity
Our customised inventory management software is currently used in over 350 implementations in over 30 countries, and helps reduce inventories by up to 40%, while increasing stock availability by 15% and service levels by 10%. These are immediate and tangible benefits for your business – but the real opportunity lies in how we back up this inventory optimisation with our strategic management know-how, in order to align and redesign key elements of your supply chain, enabling you to deliver more value to your customers, usually at a lower total cost.
