Background

Before the project implementation, there was a decentralized ordering system. There were 15 people involved in each of the stores.

There was a manual ordering of each item, the quality of the order itself is low. The physical place of order generation is in the client's accounting system on the company's servers.

It was impossible to qualitatively manage inventories, analyze the reasons for shortages and surpluses of goods.

The network experienced shortages in some product lines and overstocks in others. The company was short of sales and profits.

Project Goals

Ensuring optimal inventory levels to ensure sales and constant availability of merchandise in the store.

Reducing the level of excess inventory and optimizing the assortment based on store demand.

Accelerating inventory turnover.

Promptness in obtaining information.

A centralized order and inventory system was created on the basis of Inventory AVM. Data exchange between the client's commodity accounting system ASTOR and the inventory management system ABM Inventory was realized.

Automation

92 thousand SKUs and 100 suppliers are connected to the inventory management system. At the initial stage, buffers were calculated for each item, and then the system automatically adjusted to the current demand. Management of goods by cross-docking.
