Sales & Operational Planning

Sales Forecast Planning for Inventory Management

Do you have visibility into accurate, timely sales forecasts?
Can you efficiently manage inventory at the product or SKU level?
Are you effectively controlling costs and optimizing cash flow?

The ability to link accurate sales forecasts, at the product level, is necessary to effectively manage inventory, production cycles, and resource allocation.  Not only does it allow an organization to better manage costs, it allows management to meet customer expectations and improve overall profitability.

ADI Strategies specializes in delivering sales forecasting solutions that integrate with operational planning systems. We start with the creation of a solution that leverages product history by family or SKU level and delivers actual sales forecasts by units and total volume sales.  The solution limits manual entry and, hence, reduces over- or under-forecasting from field sales.  The sales forecasting solution is then linked to our client’s operations system, allowing sales revenue figures to speak in terms of inventory or operations revenue figures.  Finally, we deliver an analytical solution that allows management to slice and dice the sales forecast by product, field representative and geography.

Our Sales Forecast Planning for Inventory Management solutions:

• Improve visibility into demand to better manage inventory costs via user-friendly dashboards
• Enhance ‘what-if’ modeling for profitability analysis
• Provide better decision-making with forward-looking, vs. reactive, analytics
• Enrich relations between global field offices and operational management

• Increase order profitability and cash flow, as well as customer satisfaction
