ACT Replenishment Solutions

Inventory optimization is a balancing act. The objective is to maximize customer service levels and sales with the least amount of inventory. But if you miscalculate, you'll tip the scale and could wind up with too much working capital on the balance sheet, unacceptable returns on assets or poor fill rates and unhappy customers.

Many vendors choose to tackle their inventory optimization challenges by creating inventory buffers, which only results in:

• Poor use of resources

• Low Fill rate

• Poor customer satisfaction

• Lost sales

• Reduced turnover

• Excess inventory

• Lost margins
