Ensure you have inventory on hand at the right time and in the right place to fulfill customer orders. This is particularly important when managing long lead times – associated with shipments coming from overseas which could take up to 90 days or even longer. Aptean Distribution ERP offers a unique suite of tools for inventory planning associated with long lead time products to ensure inventory is on hand to meet orders.
Distribution Resource Planning (DRP) tools integrate point-of-sale (POS) data, customer forecasts, historical sales trends, seasonality, supplier lead times, and more to help you optimize purchasing decisions. And since you deal with long import lead times, Aptean Distribution ERP includes time-phased tools to help improve forecasting accuracy even further.
