Description

Managing inventory is not a "set it and forget it" task, as customer preferences and business requirements are constantly evolving. Therefore, having a flexible solution to adjust your inventory according to fluctuating demand is crucial. ION is capable of analyzing actual demand trends to determine the ideal inventory levels needed on a daily basis. With a user-friendly workflow, ION significantly eases the workload for planners by providing them with actionable insights that are straightforward to interpret. It highlights items that require attention and displays them visually, enabling planners to swiftly make decisions on reorder points. The transition of purchasing requirements from planning to the buyers is seamless, ensuring efficiency. Furthermore, ION considers factors such as minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, package sizes, supply chain inventory, and backlogs, equipping buyers with all pertinent information they need for effective decision-making. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines processes but also enhances overall inventory management effectiveness.

Description

Smart Demand Planner™, a consensus-based demand planning and statistical forecasting tool, is available on Smart's Inventory Planning and Optimization platform, Smart IP&O. Smart Demand Planner, powered the SmartForecasts®, Engine, combines strategic business forecasting at all levels of your product hierarchy with granular forecasts for the item mix to improve forecast accuracy. It provides a solid, objective foundation for your sales- and operations planning (S&OP). Smart Demand Planner's collaborative workbench allows for forecast overrides to apply, import, review, and be approved by authorized users who are responsible for the consensus plan. Forecast accuracy can be measured to ensure the best forecast is delivered to the business at both aggregate and item mix levels. This results in more efficient sales planning, budgeting and production scheduling, as well as ordering and inventory planning.
