Inventory Control Software & Replenishment Optimisation Systems

e-Stock is a powerful inventory planning and control software solution which includes inventory optimisation, automatic replenishment planning and vendor managed inventory & collaborative planning capabilities. e-Stock provides optimisation, visibility and control along the supply chain, and can be integrated with enterprise resource planning systems to process real-time demand data and generate replenishment/manufacturing orders dynamically.

Inventory Optimisation Software

Managing inventory levels along the supply chain is key to maintaining high service levels while minimising costs. e-Stock includes a range of tools for balancing and optimising inventories which enable organisations to increase service levels and reduce safety stocks. e-Stock is ideally suited to businesses characterised by factors such as:

• very large SKU range
• short-shelf life products
• complex manufacturing/distribution process
• unpredictable, short lead time orders

e-Stock balances stock levels against order profiles and forecasts, taking into account factors such as production capacities and supplier service levels. Replenishment activity is optimised in terms of resource availability and node capacities. Integration with our manufacturing planning and distribution scheduling systems enables detailed operational schedules to be created.

MJC²'s supply chain optimisation systems enable complex, extended networks to respond dynamically to fluctuating demand and supply. Our dynamic scheduling and planning systems can react automatically to real-time events, continuously refining and revising activity along the supply chain to maximise service while minimising cost.

Automatic Replenishment Planning Software

e-Stock monitors inventory levels and, using automatic replenishment algorithms, determines ideal replenishment sequences and orders. Factors such as minimum/maximum order quantities, lead times, vendor stock availability, transport costs, bulk purchase discounts, distribution/transport constraints and warehouse/storage capacity are modelled to ensure that replenishment activity follows business requirements and constraints. The automatic replenishment planning takes current stock levels and forecast demand as input and generates replenishment orders to optimise inventory levels and purchasing agreements. Assortment planning and optimisation functionality enables inventory profiles to be dynamically adjusted based on actual sales history.

Vendor Managed Inventory & Collaborative Planning Software

e-Stock is internet-enabled, allowing businesses to optimise their operation in collaboration with their partners, providing visibility and control across organisational boundaries.

Thus for example, by monitoring customer stocks, replenishment orders can be planned according to production/distribution capacities, improving resource utilisation and increasing service level. e-Stock provides visibility over the whole supply chain, automatically optimising inventories based on demand, capacity and availability. Suppliers can be notified automatically of requirements, and customers can have instant access to lead-times or delivery dates. e-Stock interfaces naturally with corporate orders databases or enterprise resource planning systems, and includes a wide range of inventory analysis, inventory tracking and replenishment management functionality.

Enterprise Resource Planning Software

e-Stock is designed for large, complex supply chain organisations which manage thousands of products and thousands of customers in a dynamic environment. Our software enables businesses to make the most of their investment in enterprise resource planning systems by creating very large savings in terms of efficiency, reduced inventory/storage costs and increased service levels. Our systems are flexible enough to model complex operational rules and constraints and can be integrated with other business systems and processes in a straightforward manner.
