Service Investment Strategies

Maximize Service. Minimize Waste. Plan Smarter.
Static safety stock rules and blanket service levels just don’t cut it. When demand shifts and disruption is the norm, your teams need more than just hindsight; they need foresight, flexibility, and control.

Make Smarter Inventory Decisions, Every Time

Manhattan Active SCP’s Service Investment Strategies capability empowers planners to:

  • Set targeted service levels by product category, channel, or location.
  • Simulate and compare the impact of different service strategies on inventory and customer performance.
  • Understand how changes in service targets affect safety stock investment, in realdollars and units.
  • Drill into ABC velocity stratification to optimize where and how capital is deployed.

With intuitive, visual simulations and side-by-side comparisons, planners can instantly see how each strategy affects their network before making changes. It's proactive, not reactive.
