“Our strength in forecasting long-tail demand and optimising complex multi-echelon supply chains makes GAINS an especially strong fit for distributors,” commented Bill Benton, CEO of GAINSystems. “End-to-end optimisation is particularly important for companies with both distribution and retail operations like Randa and Safelite.”

These distributors join an impressive roster of companies that have reduced inventory investment while still meeting service level goals.

​The comprehensive and optimised GAINS approach can help them thrive and grasp new opportunities, even as demands and conditions change.
