What is Demand forecasting & inventory optimisation?
Too much stock ties up working capital, too little costs revenue. Demand forecasting and inventory optimisation predicts demand based on history, season and trends and calculates the optimal order moment and level per item, so you balance availability against cost.
Unlike manual reordering, this software works with demand forecasting, safety stock and order advice, fed by your sales and stock data.
Key features of demand forecasting and inventory optimisation
- Demand forecasting on history, season and trend
- Optimal order moments and quantities
- Safety stock per item
- Signalling of stock-outs and dead stock
- Link with your ERP, till or webshop
In trade and manufacturing, your stock position directly drives margin and working capital. Good software predicts demand more sharply than a person, so you miss out less and tie up less in stock. When comparing, what matters is forecast quality, order advice and data links.
What to look for when choosing demand forecasting and inventory optimisation
- whether the forecasts fit your demand pattern
- references from comparable trade or manufacturing firms
- order and safety-stock advice
- link with your ERP, till or webshop
