Industries

Inventory planning for your industry.

  • Thousands of items and hundreds of suppliers: which orders are needed today? SOLISTIQ calculates proposals that account for lead times, minimum quantities and pack sizes.

  • Seasonal demand makes replenishment harder to plan. SOLISTIQ forecasts demand for your stocked items, helping you identify upcoming peaks and changing sales patterns.

  • Raw materials and purchased parts must arrive in time, while excess stock ties up capital. SOLISTIQ supports material procurement with demand forecasts and order proposals that account for lead times and known requirements.

  • Goods must be available and still have enough shelf life when they reach your customers. SOLISTIQ accounts for remaining shelf life and expected demand when calculating order quantities.

Your ordering requirements

Orders that fit your business.

Price tiers, shelf life or limited liquidity: these familiar requirements shape your orders. SOLISTIQ weighs the relevant factors together and calculates suitable quantities and dates.

Price tiers Calculate order quantities based on total costs.

Larger orders reduce the unit price but can increase holding costs, tied-up capital and expiry risk.

When is the larger quantity worthwhile?

How SOLISTIQ calculates

SOLISTIQ weighs price tiers and volume discounts against holding and capital costs and potential leftovers, calculating economically suitable order quantities.

Shelf life Plan availability and expiry risk together.

Sufficient stock supports availability, while excess quantities may reach the end of their usable shelf life before they sell.

Every batch has its own selling window.

How SOLISTIQ calculates

SOLISTIQ calculates quantities using expected demand, existing batches and required remaining shelf life. Availability and the risk of write-offs inform the same decision.

Availability Align order quantities with your availability targets.

Higher availability generally requires more stock and ties up additional capital.

Balance availability and inventory.

How SOLISTIQ calculates

You set targets by item or product group. SOLISTIQ calculates suitable quantities based on demand, lead times and inventory costs.

Ordering costs Calculate order size and frequency together.

Frequent small orders increase ordering, transport and handling effort; fewer large deliveries increase stock and holding costs.

Small and frequent or large and occasional?

How SOLISTIQ calculates

SOLISTIQ weighs costs per order and delivery against inventory holding costs, producing quantities and ordering cycles that fit your demand and processes.

Storage & liquidity Plan quantities and dates within your limits.

Demand needs to be met within limits on storage space, inventory value or available liquidity.

Plan within storage and liquidity limits.

How SOLISTIQ calculates

SOLISTIQ calculates order proposals within your capacity and budget limits, accounting for availability, supplier requirements and the cost of additional orders together.

Slow movers Align stocking decisions with demand and criticality.

Occasional demand is hard to predict: stock can tie up capital for long periods, while a missing spare part may be particularly critical.

Gaps between sales matter too.

How SOLISTIQ calculates

SOLISTIQ accounts for gaps between sales, lead times and the availability target for each item to calculate replenishment quantities for slow movers and spare parts.

Purchasing terms

Price tiers and volume discounts.

Larger orders reduce the unit price but can increase holding costs, tied-up capital and expiry risk.

Calculate order quantities based on total costs.

SOLISTIQ weighs price tiers and volume discounts against holding and capital costs and potential leftovers, calculating economically suitable order quantities.

When is the larger quantity worthwhile?

For the same demand, purchase savings are weighed against holding and capital costs and possible leftovers.

Shelf life and inventory

Shelf life and remaining life.

Sufficient stock supports availability, while excess quantities may reach the end of their usable shelf life before they sell.

Plan availability and expiry risk together.

SOLISTIQ calculates quantities using expected demand, existing batches and required remaining shelf life. Availability and the risk of write-offs inform the same decision.

Every batch has its own selling window.

Each batch has a different selling window; the next receipt must fit both demand and these windows.

Business priorities

Availability and tied-up capital.

Higher availability generally requires more stock and ties up additional capital.

Align order quantities with your availability targets.

You set targets by item or product group. SOLISTIQ calculates suitable quantities based on demand, lead times and inventory costs.

Balance availability and inventory.

Under the same conditions, a higher availability target generally needs more stock.

Order size and frequency

Ordering costs and handling.

Frequent small orders increase ordering, transport and handling effort; fewer large deliveries increase stock and holding costs.

Calculate order size and frequency together.

SOLISTIQ weighs costs per order and delivery against inventory holding costs, producing quantities and ordering cycles that fit your demand and processes.

Small and frequent or large and occasional?

The same demand can be served with different delivery quantities and ordering frequencies.

Operational limits

Storage and liquidity limits.

Demand needs to be met within limits on storage space, inventory value or available liquidity.

Plan quantities and dates within your limits.

SOLISTIQ calculates order proposals within your capacity and budget limits, accounting for availability, supplier requirements and the cost of additional orders together.

Plan within storage and liquidity limits.

Available storage and liquidity constrain feasible order quantities and delivery dates.

Sporadic demand

Slow movers.

Occasional demand is hard to predict: stock can tie up capital for long periods, while a missing spare part may be particularly critical.

Align stocking decisions with demand and criticality.

SOLISTIQ accounts for gaps between sales, lead times and the availability target for each item to calculate replenishment quantities for slow movers and spare parts.

Gaps between sales matter too.

Sales gaps, lead time and the availability target jointly inform planning.

Illustrative diagram

Planning also accounts for minimum quantities, order multiples, minimum order values, lead times and delivery days. These examples are not exhaustive: we agree further requirements, such as multiple warehouses and locations, customer orders or seasonal peaks, with you and tailor the solution before go-live.

How the proof of concept works

See what SOLISTIQ could have achieved before you decide. We simulate your last few months day by day using only information available then. Your effort: sales data and a short conversation about your ordering rules.

  1. 1. Status on day t

    Inventory, open deliveries and all sales up to that day. No later actuals.

  2. 2. Forecast

    Demand and its uncertainty band for the coming days, from the data known by then.

  3. 3. Order decision

    Availability target, lead time, minimum quantity, pack size, costs: order? How much?

  4. 4. Delivery

    The ordered quantity arrives after the lead time.

  5. 5. Demand of the day

    The day’s actual sales are served or lost.

Day t + 1 · the same steps, updated with the sales of day t
