Managed Inventory Replenishment

Elemica's Managed Inventory Replenishment Solution puts you in full command of the replenishment process. The solution enables you to respond quickly and efficiently to changing customer demand patterns by providing real-time visibility into critical inventory and demand information. 

More Control. Reduced VMI Overhead. Better Service.

By integrating with your ERP system, the Elemica solution enables you to receive inventory and forecast information electronically and auto-generate optimized replenishment schedules based on a set of intelligent business rules configured for each customer

Rules can be set to model a wide range of product supply/demand profiles including specified reorder points, safety stock levels, shipment quantities, receiving calendars, and lead times. Elemica's Managed Inventory Replenishment Solution utilizes exception-based alerting to proactively manage the process - enabling you to eliminate errors, stock outs and emergency shipments - while dramatically improving customer service.

With this solution, you can roll out standardized enterprise-wide VMI processes and inventory management controls and scale your operation, without adding overhead costs, to achieve new levels of efficiency and profitability.

"Thanks to Elemica, Dow drastically lowered DuPont's safety stock resulting in reduced inventory costs and demurrage charges. We lowered inventory by 10 MM lbs. per month, which, in turn, reduced working capital $5 MM per quarter. We also reduced the number of barges from 11-9 per month, for an additional monthly savings of $50,000. When all is said and done, Elemica helps us save about $1.8 MM per month in service costs simply by automating our process."
