One-stop-shop for your supply chain-fulfillment planning and inventory replenishment
CHALLENGE
There is an imperative need for enterprises to ensure business continuity considering the volatile macroeconomic environment we are operating in. The need is for increased visibility in the core areas of supply chain and inventory planning for improved management of spikes in demand and supply. Currently, manufacturers lack granular insights such as daily demand from channel partners and clarifications on non-fulfillment of replenishment requests. This impacts operational efficiency and customer experience.
