Exchanging inventory data with partners is now painless and simple;
partners can submit data in their native format, whether it’s EDI, CSV, Excel, and more.
Reassign labor forces that spend time manually cleansing and validating data
into other high-value tasks such as analytics, reporting, and CFO-related activities.
Maximize revenue opportunities by understanding if
partners have the correct quantity of units to support end-customer need.
Allows you to plan and adjust inventory based on market requirements.
Reward salespeople on actual inventory sales-through.
The intuitive software keeps you informed on
product inventory levels from multiple partners and
keeps you up-to-date with accurate information accessible anywhere 24/7.
“It is a huge benefit to be able to accurately forecast what we need on the manufacturing side and communicate our expectations to our manufacturers based on current run rates and current inventory levels.”
— Erny-Jay Mezas, Director of Sales, Buffalo Technology
