What it is
Most networks hold too much stock in some tiers and too little in others, because each tier is planned separately. Linkube plans safety stock, cycle stock and in-transit inventory as one system, propagating a single demand forecast from store level back to the DC. Planners set service targets by product and location; the platform positions inventory where it earns availability at the lowest holding cost.
What you get
- Multi-echelon safety stock set by service target
- Lower working capital at the same availability
- Store-level forecasts drive DC and hub positions
- Fewer manual transfers to correct tier imbalances
How it works
- 01
Build one demand picture across stores, channels and distribution centers
- 02
Optimize safety stock and reorder parameters against service targets and holding cost
- 03
Publish stocking targets to replenishment and track projected versus actual inventory
