Maximize service levels and minimize inventory costs copy

Smart Software specializes in helping spares carrying operations companies optimize their inventory. For example, a leading Electric Utility customer implemented Smart IP&O in just 90 days and reduced inventory by $9,000,000 while maintaining service levels.

Our Smart IP&O platform includes a patented probabilistic forecasting core engineered specifically for intermittently demanded spare parts. Please join our webinar featuring Greg Hartunian, CEO of Smart Software, who will show how to plan optimal inventory levels and purchase quantities for thousands of items when demand is intermittent, constantly changing, or affected by unexpected events. This webinar is an excellent opportunity to learn how to reduce stock-outs and inventory costs by leveraging data-driven decisions that identify the financial trade-offs associated with changes in demand, lead times, service level targets, and costs.
