We offer a daily forecasting solution that will generate optimal allocation order quantities for all your point of sale locations. The goal is a higher achieved margin with less stock on the balance sheet. Based on actual sales transactions stock will flow automatically to the point of sale locations that have the highest sales potential. We support the omni-channel distribution strategy in the best possible way by allocating stock to the distribution channel that is achieving the highest margin. When required, the system can even pull slow-moving stock back to the central Distribution Center to ensure continued high availability on the faster moving shelves. We are able to deliver the first results within 3 months after project launch.

Software as a Service

Historically, companies were required to buy, build, and maintain their IT infrastructures despite exponentially growing costs. ChainBalance provides companies the alternative. Now, you can plug in and subscribe to services built on shared infrastructure via the internet. We offer user-friendly interfaces with a lower learning curve. No license fees means lower initial costs. ChainBalance managing the IT infrastructure means lower IT costs for hardware, software, and the people needed to manage it all. ChainBalance taking care of all updates and upgrades means, there are no patches for customers to download or install. There will be a seamless integration with existing ERP systems or other business productivity systems. We can offer this software model on our own servers, onsite or at a hosting provider of your choice.

We help our clients benefit from the new rules of retail. In our vision, this can be best achieved with a responsive supply chain. The goal is a higher achieved margin with less stock on the balance sheet. For this we have a 2 step approach. The first step is to change how buyers place their orders: from Make-to-Order or Make-to-Stock towards Make-to-Consumption. This article shows the benefits of this tactical change. Once the Distribution Center is being stocked based on actual consumption, the next step is to ensure point of sale locations receive more replenishment on fast-movers and very little to no replenishment on slow-movers. By keeping inventory one stage higher up in the supply chain, we will improve the availability at all point of sale locations. Step 1: Make-to-Consumption can be achieved within your own system landscape with the help of our consultants. For step 2 we recommend a trail period with our Responsive Sales Forecasting solution.
