Webinar: Maximize Revenue and Minimize Inventory Costs

Epicor Smart Inventory Optimization includes the ability to create “optimized” inventory policies. The Optimize function models inventory performance at scale, prescribing the service level targets and corresponding min/max/safety settings for all items. You’ll reduce the likelihood of stock out and capture more sales while reducing excess inventory. Our Webinar explains how optimization works and how it compares to traditional approaches that pick an arbitrary service level target. We will show a live demo so you can see it in action.

Please join our webinar featuring Greg Hartunian, CEO of Smart Software, who will explain  how optimization works and how it compares to traditional approaches that pick an arbitrary service level target.  He will show a live demo so you can see it in action.

Smart Software named an Epicor platinum partner, the highest designation in the ISV Partner Program

Belmont, Mass., January  2020 –  Smart Software is pleased to announce that it has been named an Epicor platinum partner as a leading provider of demand planning and inventory optimization solutions.  Epicor ERP customers leverage Smart’s web native platform for Inventory Planning and Optimization (Smart IP&O) to develop consensus forecasts, manage demand, and optimize stocking policies.

“Smart Software helps Epicor ERP customers by delivering business analytics for inventory modeling and forecasting. Having too much or not enough inventory are costly problems that typically require a great deal of manual planning and costs. Using Smart IP&O, our customers are able to automate manual planning processes, forecast demand more accurately, and shape inventory strategy to align with the business objectives.” notes Jennifer Schulze, VP Product Marketing, Epicor

Smart Software’s certified bi-directional integration to Epicor ERP makes all transactional data in Epicor such as shipments, sales orders, supplier receipts, inventory on hand, and more, available in Smart IP&O’s data model for analysis.  Smart IP&O leverages field-proven analytics, probabilistic modeling, and the latest advancements in  forecasting technology to predict future demand, prescribe optimal stocking policies, and identify opportunities for operational improvement.  Users can transfer forecast results, order quantities, and stocking policies to Epicor ERP in a few mouse-clicks.

Greg Hartunian, CEO of Smart Software stated “In today’s supply chain, traditional forecast modeling, rule of thumb inventory planning approaches, and Excel spreadsheets just don’t cut it anymore.  It’s no longer enough to simply manage your inventory.  Customers leveraging Smart IP&O are better able to effectively  wield inventory assets, improve their operations, lower costs, improve customer service, and outperform the competition. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Epicor to help our joint customers achieve these key benefits.”

“Choosing and Achieving a Target Service Level” by Smart Software Co-Founder Profiled in Spring 2018 Issue of Foresight

Belmont, Mass., May 17, 2018 – Smart Software, Inc., provider of industry-leading demand forecasting, planning, and inventory optimization solutions, today announced that the Spring 2018 issue of Foresight Magazine features Dr. Thomas Willemain’s article “Choosing and Achieving a Target Service Level.”  Len Tashman, Editor of Foresight states: “Tom Willemain describes the primary considerations for setting service-level targets, explaining how software can serve as a valuable aid in this endeavor and offering a case study to illustrate a relatively simple approach – what he calls “service level wins and losses” – by which a company can evaluate how well it is achieving its service level goals.  The case study also reveals how important it is to utilize appropriate probability models rather than rely on traditional defaults such as the Normal distribution of demands.”
