InStock Replenishment software is an industry exclusive solution to seasonal and weather driven categories that cannot be replenished systematically.

Seasonal product replenishment is the core of our product and service offering. The extreme demand of inventory control in seasonal categories was the original focus of our company and still represents the majority of our team’s efforts each day. When we began operations, there was no replenishment system available in the industry that accurately addressed local weather and sales trends. Because of this, many seasonal items were 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.

We have developed an industry exclusive inventory replenishment system that facilitates management of the largest programs and retail location counts in the marketplace. This system can be deployed on either the supplier side of the business for vendor managed programs or installed and managed by the retailer if a centrally managed program is desired. In either case, custom management reporting capabilities can provide ongoing tools for key personnel to monitor the decisions made and their results.

Our software works perfectly in the big box retailing environment. Custom functionality settings and criteria capture capabilities ensure that replenishment analysts can configure the program to utilize a range of attributes and metrics. Physical requirements such as square footage and store configuration can be loaded into the system. Additionally, market considerations such as store volume by product category, customer income levels, and operations personnel requests can be programmatically entered. And supplier criteria such as approved item listings and primary or secondary status can be set within the system. Once configured, the system provides appropriate output that allows the replenishment analyst to focus solely on the critical step of identifying product needs and placing orders.
