In manufacturing and distribution, balancing customer expectations against the capital tied up in stock is a high-wire act. Because of Syspro, you can replace guesswork with a purpose-built digital solution that empowers you to determine the optimal inventory level for every item.
Our platform integrates smarter forecasting, strategic product groupings, and powerful optimization modeling so you can reduce carrying costs, improve service levels, and increase profitability. Build a more resilient supply chain and deliver greater value to your customers.
Minimize capital tied up in stock by using data-driven models to define optimal inventory levels. Reduce carrying costs, shrink obsolete stock, and increase inventory turnover for a healthier bottom line.
Move beyond guesswork with a range of statistical forecasting algorithms that automatically find the best fit for each item. Accurately predict demand, account for seasonality, and reduce stockouts and overstock situations.
Meet and exceed customer delivery expectations by ensuring the right stock is in the right place at the right time. Improve stock availability and use Available-to-Promise data to make reliable customer commitments.
Aggregate thousands of SKUs into logical Families and Groups to simplify planning. Manage forecasts at a brand or category level, apply policies in bulk, and analyze performance across related items efficiently.
Model the impact of different inventory policies before you commit. Balance service level targets against inventory investment to find the most profitable strategy for your business, accounting for both supply and demand volatility.
Gain complete visibility with real-time KPIs for lost sales, stock cover, and forecast accuracy. Use tracking signals and automated alerts to pinpoint and address inventory issues before they impact your operations.
Smarter Statistical Forecasting Engine
Utilize a variety of forecasting algorithms, from moving averages to Holt-Winters, or let the system’s competition mode automatically select the best-fit algorithm for each item. Analyze performance at any level, from individual SKU to product class or supplier.
Flexible Families and Groupings
Create hierarchical ‘Families’ to provide a sales-oriented view of your products (e.g., by brand) and single-level ‘Groups’ for logistical purposes (e.g., by warehouse region). Aggregate forecasts for high-level planning, then disaggregate them back to the SKU level for execution.
Dynamic Inventory Optimization and Modeling
Define inventory policies per SKU or warehouse, using either fixed rules or risk-based service level targets. Calculate and model time-phased minimum and maximum stock levels to visualize the impact on investment and service before activating them in your planning.
Built-in Pareto (ABC) Analysis
Automatically classify and rank stock items based on criteria like sales value, gross profit, or movement frequency. This allows you to apply differentiated inventory strategies, focusing your resources on the items that contribute most to your bottom line.
Real-Time Exception Management and Alerts
Stay ahead of supply chain disruptions with configurable alerts for critical events. Receive notifications for forecast deviations using tracking signals, potential stockouts, or slow-moving stock, enabling proactive intervention.
Seamless Integration with Requirements Planning (MRP)
Translate your demand forecasts directly into action. Validated inventory levels automatically inform the Requirements Planning calculation, ensuring that purchase orders and production jobs are created to maintain your optimal inventory position.
Inventory Planning is the engine for MRP. It provides the optimized min/max levels and demand forecasts that MRP uses to calculate and recommend purchase orders and production jobs, ensuring supply is perfectly aligned with demand.
Provides the rich sales history that serves as the foundation for accurate forecasting. In return, Inventory Planning provides reliable Available-to-Promise (ATP) information, so your sales team can make commitments they can keep.
Serves as the single source of truth for on-hand stock levels, which are critical inputs for optimization calculations. All adjustments, receipts, and issues are reflected in real-time to ensure planning is based on accurate data.
The output of the planning cycle. MRP generates purchase requisitions based on optimization rules, which are then converted to Purchase Orders to replenish stock from your suppliers.
Enables location-specific planning and optimization. Inventory levels from individual warehouses or zones are fed into the planning engine, and the system can recommend supply chain transfers to redistribute excess stock.
