Inventory Optimization: Get It Right the First Time—And Every Time
Even small variances in inventory can have big repercussions in your supply chain. Caught with too little and you have rush charges, express delivery fees and unhappy customers. Order too much and you increase costs and risk write-offs for obsolete or expired goods. A view of your inventory across all channels ensures that your goods are where they're needed—not forgotten in a warehouse or reserved for stores while your Internet customers receive out-of-stock messages.
Inventory Optimization from Manhattan Associates enables you to see inventory across your entire network no matter how many channels, products or outlets you have. In addition, this powerful suite enables you to set channel-specific service levels so that Internet, call center and store orders can each be filled from the sources and at the times you determine.
Not only can you see the status of your inventory at every point in your supply chain, you can share inventory data with your suppliers so they can better manage production and shipments. The more extensive your supplier network and more intricate your supply chain, the more you need Inventory Optimization.
