Inventory Planning Helps Balance Costs and Service Levels

Inventory faces pressure from all sides, particularly in an omni-channel marketplace. Reduce inventory too much and customer service might suffer. Maintain too much safety stock and you’ve got excess cash tied up. Inventory control is often tied directly to ERP to the exclusion of other activities, creating a silo where inventory planners don't have proper access to vital data which affects all parts of the supply chain.

Halo’s platform supported by an advanced data warehouse seamlessly incorporates ERP data with qualitative information to balance inventory with supply. Business users can quickly and easily run history-based what-if simulations to optimize safety-stock while maintaining desired service levels and costs.

When Inventory is tied into the supply chain:

• Costly safety stock can be reduced because risk can be better managed
• Customer issues due to late delivery become fewer and less crisis-driven
• Critical part shortages that destroy workflow can be managed or eliminated
