Replenishment Optimisation
Leveraging sophisticated demand forecasting with predictive analysis as well as detailed inventory optimisation, GAINS Replenishment Optimisation offers clients the ability to accurately predict supply needs and dynamically adapt to changing demand patterns at the POS level. The methodology predicts both shortage and overstock conditions and identifies profitable inventory deployment. The GAINS solution addresses complexity at every level of the supply chain, thereby improving on-shelf availability and reducing stockout duration. This results in minimising lost sales and inventory excess/spoilage. Retailers can improve in-stock position, increase planning efficiency, and optimise inventory throughout the supply chain.
Having an effective workflow is essential when dealing with a range of vendors, multiple stocking locations, different distribution flows and large numbers of products. It is not unusual for small teams to be responsible for the purchasing and replenishment decisions of millions of SKU/location combinations in complex supply chains. To this end, GAINS possesses configurable screens allowing users to quickly see all pertinent information when building purchase orders. Embedded functionality ensures ordering is optimised – be it minimum PO value, containerisation or production minimums. The GAINS solution helps clients reduce inventory and related costs while increasing on-shelf availability, sales and profitability.
