Replenishment

Without an automatic replenishment system that can address local weather and sales trends, many seasonal items are replenished through a combination of staged orders, local retail location ordering and push orders from the retail corporate office. These methods too often lack the accuracy necessary to maximize sales and profitability. In fact, most large retailers now require suppliers to provide ongoing analysis of inventory levels and other measures of program success.

We use industry exclusive software developed specifically to address the extreme demands of the Live Nursery category and other weather and seasonally driven programs. This software allows us to manage multi-thousand retail location programs with unmatched accuracy and efficiency.

InStock Retail Services will partner with your company and the mass retailer in the inventory replenishment process. This is accomplished through daily review of sales and inventory reporting to make real time decisions. Addressing replenishment in this manner allows suppliers and retailers to customize and time product shipments at the location and item level. The order creation process can occur as frequently as dictated by the product category and seasonal trend line, and in most cases is performed daily by our analysts.
