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.
