Address your biggest inventory forecasting challenges

Wholesalers of automotive parts and tools face complex challenges including new product introductions, seasonality, slow movers, price changes, supplier restrictions, and strict delivery schedules.

Turnover and availability 

For automotive parts wholesalers, the challenges of inventory turnover and low availability can lead to high costs and lost sales. A reliance on manual processes and disconnected legacy systems can make overcoming these challenges difficult. 

Aligning workforce scheduling with deliveries 

The flow of goods received from suppliers needs to be aligned with available labor at distribution centers to avoid expensive overtime and ensure deliveries align with warehouse capacity. 

Large and complex assortments 

A broad assortment, including slow movers and seasonal products (with long lead times and fluctuating demand) can make it difficult to generate accurate forecasts. 

Siloed departments and misaligned operations 

The misalignment between supply chain and operations planning, caused by a lack of transparency across departments, can result in lost sales, diminished profits, and dissatisfied customers.

Optimize wholesale supply chain processes

Use the power of automation and AI-driven solutions from RELEX for accurate supply chain planning to improve efficiency and capacity planning, increase sales, and drive down the cost of inventory.

“The implementation process was a journey for us. RELEX led us. They guided us through that whole process. If I heard the word configure once, I heard it twice. Don’t worry, this is configurable, but it was really an iterative process, and they were right there.”
