Autonomous Stock Control

In which business model must your goods logistics hold its own? Do you operate a logistics centre as a service provider? As a retail company, do you manage a complex store system with decentralized store warehouses? Or do you supply your customers directly as a producer? No matter where you fit in - one key factor in competition applies to all these scenarios: the demand of your customers for maximum availability of goods.

This issue is particularly explosive due to the emergence of omnichannel marketing, Click&Collect systems and endless aisle philosophies. These are trends that are necessary for the survival of the stationary retail trade in competition with online shops - and at the same time bring considerable challenges for goods logistics into consideration.

The good news: thanks to highly integrated merchandise management processes, the data basis for intelligent inventory management is often already available. So our solutions for automatic inventory management are usually based on existing data and processes. Our solution modules provide the decisive step: They convert the entire item recording at producers, in warehouses and distribution as well as at the point of sale to an RFID-supported real-time infrastructure.

And they extract the actual replenishment requirement from circulation and throughput data in comparison with target stocks. As a result, either qualified replenishment suggestions are created for your teams or, ideally, autonomous replenishment orders are triggered that automatically flow into the producers' process chains. The gap is closed proactively, the availability of goods remains guaranteed.
