Supply Management is one of the most important processes for any business that relies on a large number of products, suppliers, and locations. In retail chains, this challenge is multiplied – daily coordination is required between stores, central warehouses, and suppliers, and any delay or mistake can lead to losses, dissatisfied customers, or excess inventory. For this reason, there is a real need for a higher level of automation that eliminates manual intervention and ensures timely replenishment with the correct quantities.
The application developed by the ITC Consult team for ERP.net clients optimizes the supply process in retail chains by automatically analyzing sales and product availability in each store. The system calculates the projected period during which stock will last and, based on this information, generates automatic delivery orders – either directly to suppliers or to a central warehouse.
Delivery management is aligned with the schedules of suppliers and stores, ensuring timely replenishment of products without manual intervention. This solution significantly reduces the risk of stock shortages and surpluses and optimizes operations in chains with thousands of items, multiple locations, and various suppliers.
Key highlights and benefits of this functionality include:
- Automated tracking of stock levels and sales at store and central warehouse levels;
- Automatic calculation of required quantities and stock duration;
- Creation of delivery orders aligned with supplier and store schedules;
- Improved supply efficiency in complex chains with multiple locations, items, and suppliers;
- Reduced manual work and risk of errors in orders;
- Maintenance of optimal stock levels, avoiding shortages or excessive inventory;
- Simultaneous management of two types of deliveries – direct to stores and via a central warehouse.
