Caught between demanding customers, rising costs and paper thin margins, distribution operations are finding supply chain optimization is more important than ever, and a key to their success. With GAINSystems, distributors dramatically improve service levels and mix, especially when planning sporadic demand for long-tail items. GAINSystems’ holistic approach combines demand and replenishment planning with powerful inventory optimization methods. The solution ensures that inventory is balanced to meet customer service requirements.

“Our strength in forecasting long-tail demand and optimizing complex multi-echelon supply chains makes GAINS an especially strong fit for distributors,” commented Bill Benton, CEO of GAINSystems. “End-to-end optimization is particularly important for companies with both distribution and retail operations like Randa and Safelite.”
These distributors join an impressive roster of companies that have reduced inventory investment while still meeting service level goals. The comprehensive and optimized GAINS approach can help them thrive and grasp new opportunities, even as demands and conditions change.
