As a SYSPRO user, you already know how its inventory optimisation features help you invest money where needed most. But to fine-tune inventory and sales optimisation, you need to custom-configure your SYSPRO data with advanced inventory analytics. 

For manufacturing, distribution and supply chain networks leveraging SYSPRO ERP, the difference in efficiency gains between stock-standard and custom-configured inventory optimisation can be massive.

Given the surge of market challenges post-pandemic - and with Industry 4.0 movements in full swing - those who find that difference will set the new benchmarks of performance and influence.

SYSPRO Sales optimisation: How do you turn inventory into possibility? 

When you walk into your stockroom, what do you see? Those aren’t simply items stacked on a shelf and boxes filed on shelving units. No, you’re looking at your future. 

But this is a future entirely in your hands, and your inventory translates directly into the ability to create a prosperous lot. 

By integrating with tailored analytics solutions, SYSPRO enables you to clear the path to your desired future with inventory and sales optimisation.  

Let’s look at how your SYSPRO ERP data can speak to the right people at the right time optimally. 

How can SYSPRO inventory and sales optimisation help you plan?

Ensuring you have the required stock is just the start of inventory optimisation. When approaching inventory optimisation, it’s important to remember that overstocking and redundant logistic costs are just as detrimental to profitability as stockouts and backorders. 

But to effectively map out the path ahead, you must analyse the way behind sales optimisation. Recognising sales patterns and how they affect inventory lets you plan for what’s to come more effectively. 

That’s why the forecasting capabilities of your SYSPRO data are so important. To enable forecasting, you need tools that make data-driven decision-making possible in real-time. Otherwise, your optimisation will always be one step behind. 

The benefits of inventory and sales forecasting and optimisation

With an eagle-eye view of your inventory lifecycle, you get to increase your selling power by:

● Preparing for seasonal sales events

● Optimising purchasing with forecasting

● Avoiding stockouts and shortages

● Minimising logistical costs

● Finding the most influential supply partners

However, a challenge with inventory optimisation is aligning inventory with supply and demand.  

Overcoming the challenge of inventory and sales optimisation in your production line

Manufacturing and distribution are founded on connecting products to clients quickly. 

Achieving this requires predicting demand and building the necessary supply to meet the demand. This leaves you with raw materials, partially produced goods, and final products throughout your inventory cycle. 

While in a perfect world, your raw materials will align perfectly with your production demands, the truth is that you’re probably sitting with a fair number of unused materials after production. 

But inventory should be your doorway to the future, not the leftovers of the journey. 

How are carrying costs affecting your bottom line?

Unused, redundant inventory directly affects your earning potential, primarily because of carrying costs.

Your ability to accurately manage storage facility expenses, insurance costs, and the labour involved in stock management are all affected by unused inventory. 

Identifying the discrepancies and redundant expenses in your supply and manufacturing chain will allow inventory optimisation to bleed over into cost reduction and improved workforce management.
