Inventory Optimization – Top Down vs. Bottom Up

Top-down inventory optimization sounds like a simple solution to many retail issues. But is forcing a forecast down from the top really the best solution? iKIS™ allows for a bottom-up approach by providing accurate forecasting at the lowest levels and seamlessly rolling these forecasts up to upper hierarchy levels for reporting. With our robust exception management tools, long-range forecasts at the location are remarkably accurate even with your longest lead-time vendors.

SaaS vs. Web-Hosted vs. Cloud

What’s the difference anyway?

Some enterprise planning systems boast a “web-hosted” solution but aren’t true Software as a Service (SaaS) models. Our SaaS demand forecasting and supply-chain solutions are available on a subscription basis, without the need for long-term contracts or additional hardware. Without the constraints of traditional models, we can provide more frequent software updates and better tech support (100% USA staffed) as our technicians are only dealing with one code version. New installs are fast and easy compared to enterprise systems. These efficiencies are passed on to our customers as cost savings providing fast ROI.

Demand Forecasting software will measure and account for lost sales, overstock and closeouts. These are three pitfalls of not having a demand forecasting software solution. Sales forecasting methods doom you to repeat last years sales. Without real demand forecasting, tracking lost sales is only a KPI. Unless the lost sales are automatically incorporated into the forecast method, it’s a sales forecasting solution.
