Valogix Inventory Planning
Valogix Inventory Planning is completely integrated with the NetSuite. Valogix automates the entire inventory planning process from forecasting to replenishment to optimization. Built using NetSuite’s SuiteCloud platform, the application gives NetSuite customers web-based demand planning and optimization functions that can reduce costs, increase productivity and deliver faster ROI.
Key Benefits
Valogix plans for finished goods, assemblies, kits, components and raw materials. Users have instant visibility to the master warehouse, to field stock, and everything in between. The proprietary demand planning engine efficiently plans for each item/location combination based on its unique characteristics. For example, a regional warehouse replenishes lower level and field locations; therefore, it is both a supplier and warehouse location, allowing Valogix to handle different lead times, costs, and other variables for more precise planning with NetSuite. Other benefits include:
- Automated forecasting uses unique qualifiers that select the best forecasting method for every item
- System calculates a rolling 12 to 36 month forecast
- Accounting for seasonal and cyclical patterns
- Valogix forecasting algorithms handle slow moving, random demand items easily
- The system dynamically evaluates inventory for changes in demand
- Alerts warn you of potential problems before they happen
- Excess and inactive inventory are immediately identified
- Parameters are user defined and are easily changed as needed
- Automated planning for all warehouses, retail stores and other network locations
- Optimization re-balances mix to reduce costs and increase service
- Approved replenishment orders automatically populate Purchase Orders, Production Orders or Transfers
