With the introduction of AI technology, managing wholesale inventory has become an antiquated process. ERP systems do an OK job, at best, at managing A & B items, but they do a poor job with C & D items. When a SKU sells only 2 to 3 times per year, ERPs can’t forecast them. But using our AI technology, we found a solution to effectively manage these low-selling SKUs that make up 90% of dead stock. Thermostock® not only helps wholesale distributors reduce its dead stock by 45% in as little as 4 months, but it also improves the transfer fill rates on low-selling parts by 8-10 points. Learn more about this one-of-its-kind solution that is revolutionizing the industry. https://lnkd.in/eGHXHM2B #WholesaleDistribution #ERP #InventorySolutions #InventoryManagement

Removing complexity through designed simplicity...Day 1 Gartner Supply Chain Symposium musings 💭 You won't believe this but Gartner arranged torrential rain for the kick off yesterday. Such attention to detail in ensuring every attendee stayed inside all day to speak to #supplychain software leaders like QAD. This explains my washed out picture below ⛈. So what were the themes yesterday? The booth was very busy and the conferences packed full of fresh and current industry insight. At QAD we talk a lot about our solutions making customers adaptive to supply chain challenges. This goes hand in hand with Gartner's opening keynote about the need to build anti-fragile supply chains...in fact the possibility to consistently increase resilience through disruption is profound. Talking to industry leaders about their projects and challenges uncovered a regular theme; supply chains can and should be seen as a profit centre. Creating opportunity from uncertainty is where it's at and whilst many vendors and businesses get tied up in their own acronyms, the real moment of clarity is around removing complexity through designed simplicity 💡 We're into Day 2 and looking forward to some more excellent chats. The sun's now starting to shine again and Team QAD are ready to rock n' roll! Look for Booth 131 where we'll tell you all about how we'll help you Control the Uncontrollable 🎮 Gartner for Supply Chain #globaltrade #ai #manufacturing
