Description

VMI, which stands for "vendor managed inventory," is a system designed to streamline inventory management. When a customer's stock levels dip below a certain threshold, PathGuide’s Advanced VMI automatically generates a replenishment order. This order is sent to the vendor electronically, where it is usually confirmed, selected, packaged, and dispatched back to the customer. Furthermore, Advanced VMI can initiate automatic advanced shipping notifications, providing customers with crucial information to prepare for the arrival of their shipments. PathGuide’s Advanced VMI operates independently for distributors' clients or as an integrated feature of a warehouse management system (WMS). This innovation ensures that orders are placed with unprecedented speed, simplicity, and efficiency, particularly benefiting customers who frequently purchase the same items. Overall, the system enhances supply chain operations by minimizing downtime and maintaining optimal inventory levels.

Description

With Prime, food service distributors can effectively utilize sophisticated business analytics and integrated dashboards to oversee their operations from a unified perspective, enabling them to optimize sales margins, enhance company workflows, and strategically purchase and sell the most suitable products. This solution streamlines the entire order-to-customer-to-cash cycle by introducing efficiencies tailored specifically for the food distribution sector. Additionally, Prime software harnesses the power of Acumatica WMS features, allowing you to manage warehousing operations and fulfill orders with greater efficiency. For enhanced functionality, Prime offers seamless integration with reputable WMS solutions that you already rely on. It also allows you to establish customer-specific delivery routes that are automatically chosen based on the specified cut-off days and times for trips. Furthermore, the software automatically assigns ship dates for the next available trip, ensuring that orders submitted after the cut-off time will still be processed with the appropriate shipping dates. This level of automation significantly reduces the potential for errors and improves overall operational efficiency.
