KEY CAPABILITIES

45% Reduction in Safety Stock

Level Up Your

Food Buying Game

Standardize your buying practices so your team can consistently drive profitability and customer service, with a forecast that updates every day instead of relying on weekly splits.

Increase profitability through intelligent automation and timely, data-driven buying decisions

Set purchasing costs that reflect today’s economics, not decades-old assumptions

Minimize perishable waste by systematically leveraging daily lot expiration data

Gain unparalleled transparency into demand and profitability that buyers have never had before

Reduce unproductive inventory by optimizing safety stock with visibility into future sellable inventory

True Daily Demand Forecasting

Forecasts update every day, not on weekly splits, so you can act before last week’s numbers hurt your bottom line.

囷！

Lot Spoilage Analysis

The optimization engine uses accurate, daily expiration data from the warehouse to predict lot-based future spoils. Projections now also factor in known Plans and Bookings already in the system, not just forecasted demand, so you always carry the right sellable stock to meet demand.

Data Scrubbing

Automatically detects and removes demand anomalies from your forecasts, so you can reduce safety stock and improve cash flow.

Advanced Promo Filtering & Promo Uplift Averages

Optimize your post-promotion DC-level forecast by chain, customer, or ad group instead of relying on DC-level data alone. New Promo Uplift Averages show each item’s average percentage uplift by fiscal quarter and season, viewable from the Item Forecasting page, Event and Deals item selection grids, and the Event Performance Report.

Customer Demand Visibility

Stop hunting through your ERP or data warehouse to answer “who took all my inventory?” Get direct visibility down to the individual customer or customer group to make more informed forecasting decisions.

More New Capabilities

From route plans to optimized driver assignments, all in one process.

Seasonal Profile Alerts — New

Every active SKU has its seasonal profile evaluated on a rolling basis. Roughly a twentieth of all active SKUs are reviewed each weekday, so seasonal shifts are caught continuously instead of during a single annual review.

Automatic Truck Split — New

Specify a default truck on the Source-Location tab, and Replenishment Optimizer applies it automatically through the new Truck Split view, cutting manual setup on every order.

Inflation-Adjusted Purchasing Simulation — New

Increased maximum values for PO Header and Line Cost bring your buying simulations in line with current, inflation-adjusted carrying and handling costs, so recommended buy quantities reflect today’s economics instead of assumptions from 15–20 years ago.

Daily Projections at a Glance — Enhanced

Future, projected demand is highlighted in the Daily Projections Grid as well as the Weekly and 4-Weekly history grids, with date columns so buyers can easily scan and sort projections faster.
