at the Network Level

Are you looking for new improved ways to manage your distribution enterprises inventory? Please join us for an informative webcast presenting recent Aberdeen research indicating that 50% of today’s distribution companies still determine stocking quantities and inventory policies at the local level. The benefits of managing inventory at a network level include mitigating transportation time, costs, and capacity constraints. Companies managing at a network level are also able to streamline the decisions of where and how much inventory to place as well as how to optimally design their network.

• Improve inventory management and streamline decision making
• Enhance inventory visibility throughout your distribution network
• Leverage investments in inventory management technologies

Rugs Direct, Inc. will present a real life case study on how they improved their inventory management practices. Rugs Direct distributes about 80% of their orders across 60 vendors so it was very important for them to manage this at a network rather than a local level. Rugs Direct implemented Electronic Data Exchange (EDI) technology coupled with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software and other technologies to effectively manage their inventory across their multi-site distribution environment.
