Delivery smoothing
The Delivery Smoothing module provides a complete view of your procurement ecosystem and also helps balance receiving loads and adapt them to planned resources with the built-in smoothing feature.
The order projection function facilitates order planning and management by displaying activity forecasts (orders, receipts, stock, etc.) at all levels of your organization.
Consolidation across all levels
Our module allows you to consolidate order projections at different levels. These projections can be at the level of products, sites, suppliers or a specific selection of product-sites.
This functionality therefore provides a global and detailed view of forecast demand. This allows for more precise planning and optimization of resources.
Calculation in different units
Our module supports the calculation of order projections in different units of measurement, such as value, pallet, volume, unit, weight, etc.
Additionally, this allows users to view and analyze order projections. They are therefore visualized according to the units that are most relevant to their business. In addition, this facilitates decision-making and adjustment of orders according to real needs.
Smoothing and order suggestions
Additionally, the calculated order projections can be used for order smoothing. That is to say, to distribute in a balanced manner the quantities ordered and/or to be delivered over a given period.
In addition, order projections are used as a basis for generating order suggestions in advance.
Forecasted stock-out alerts
The module also uses order projections to anticipate forecast stock shortages. It generates automatic alerts to inform supply chain managers of products and sites likely to encounter supply problems.
This therefore allows a proactive reaction to avoid stock shortages and maintain a high level of service for customers.
Sharing forecasts and order projections
Our module also facilitates the sharing of forecasts, order projections, order planning and delivery planning with external stakeholders.
It thus offers the possibility of sharing this information in a secure and controlled manner with suppliers, distributors or other business partners, thus promoting collaboration and transparency in the supply chain.
Finally, by using our order projection calculations functionality, retail companies can optimize their order planning and management activities. They can also ensure sufficient product availability and improve customer satisfaction. Thanks in particular to better anticipation of demand and more efficient supply processes.
