Use case

Replenishment optimization

Align what you buy with what actually sells—so cash stays available and shelves stay stocked.

Decision question

What should we reorder, where should it go, and how much cash should we commit?

Decision view

The operating view connects source systems, shared definitions, and the decision output the team needs.

decision output for the team

What breaks today

  • Sell-through, sellable stock, open orders, and lead times are reviewed in different tools.
  • Stores, warehouses, and finance teams use different versions of the same inventory answer.
  • Urgent buys happen because risk is visible too late.

Signals required

  • Current sellable stock by SKU and location
  • Recent demand and known demand exceptions
  • Open purchase orders and expected arrival dates
  • Lead time behavior by supplier or lane

Aethrix approach

  • Normalize product, location, supplier, order, and stock definitions.
  • Surface stockout and overstock risk in the same operating view.
  • Create a clean output for reorder, transfer, or hold decisions.
Expected outcomes

Better decisions before heavier automation

The first implementation should make the operating decision cleaner, faster, and easier to defend. Hard ROI belongs in customer-approved case studies, not invented claims.

Less time reconciling inventory before planning starts

Clearer replenishment priorities by SKU and location

A better foundation for forecasting or automation tools
