Inventory Replenishment and Forecasting – This item management tool allows our Users to be able to predict stocking levels required to maintain appropriate service levels based on such factors as sales history, vendor lead time, safety stock, item popularity, and customer buying patterns. You can also add additional parameters as your company needs. The key to optimum inventory management is to strive to maintain high service levels (no out-of-stocks) while keeping inventory costs low. The concept of just-in-time inventory management accomplishes that by keeping only what stock you need each week to meet your customer’s changing demand.
