You have every item your
customers want…in some location. You even have 8 or 900 items that
no one wants. And naturally that’s in every location. Now
you just added 150
new items.
Imagine that scenario…now, add a call from Finance…“we’re low on cash…we need to
do something about inventory,” while your Sales/Operations team is in your
office begging for increased customer service levels.
CLARITY inventory deployment optimization meets this challenge by defining the optimal
inventory deployment for every item and location. CLARITY determines the
profitability of stocking the item to support sales,
cross-filling demand from another location, or potentially
losing the sale; and then recommends the correct item deployment
strategy
for every location.
