How is the ROI of Inventory Optimization measured?

Inventory optimization systems add value by recovering profit from inventory in the following areas:

  • Increased profitability by avoiding markdowns and obsolescent write offs.
  • Lowered working capital cost of holding excess stock through redistributing excess
  • Better purchase order management
  • Better cost management associated with space utilization, both at warehouses and stores.
  • Lower transportation costs through network planning
  • Eliminating excess stock by accurate forecasting of demand
  • Increased customer service levels
  • Improved product mix
  • Dynamically reduced safety stock and therefore holding costs.
  • Lost sales reduced.
  • Slow moving items treated accordingly.
  • Exception management and event management
