Speed Up and Improve Your Ordering With the Power of Artificial Intelligence

With demand-driven Order Planning & Replenishment, the system creates a digital simulation to produce a forward-looking, time-phased ordering plan that considers the forecast of demand, the current inventory plan, and likely future factors that influence stock positions.

Whether sourcing externally from overseas vendors or dispersing inventory among branches, the solution uses artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to suggest the most cost-effective ordering pattern to achieve your targeted service levels.

Constraint-Based Purchase Orders

Whether it’s a purchase order minimum or an imposed container fill rate, real-world situations often constrain your ability to replenish orders as you’d like. Mi9 Retail provides a quick and simple wizard to help you approve line-item orders that meet those constraints. The resulting purchase orders release more quickly, reducing planner workload and lead time.

Exception-Based Order Review

Order review allows for exceptions to be identified reducing the workload on users. To further improve the efficiency of the business process, filters allow for specific items to be retrieved for ordering allowing the system to highlight items due for ordering. Within the review, users also get insight into system recommendations, including sales and stock forecasts, which clearly show why the system is recommending what it is.

Inventory Dashboard

The inventory dashboard is one of multiple dashboards that can be displayed to users as they log into the system. It provides a one-shot review of the health of the business from an inventory and sales perspective. Stock mix and improvements in service levels and excess reduction can be reviewed statically or over time. Dashboard data is classified to highlight areas of concern based on the ABC classifications and users have the ability to action workflows directly off the dashboard.
