We have developed an algorithm that takes into account all these specifics and has been tested by dozens of retailers who successfully achieve the goals of fresh categories in their companies.

Remaining shelf life

Fresh inventory software takes into account the remaining shelf life – the actual shelf life of the product after it hits the store shelf

FIFO batch accounting

The most accurate order calculation, thanks to an implemented simplified analogue of batch accounting by FIFO (first-in, first-out).

Across the week demand coefficient

Fresh inventory software takes into account fluctuations in demand by day of the week, which is critical for products in this category due to frequent deliveries and limited shelf life.

Delivery slots

Fresh item management software takes into account the goods delivery slots (the range of time for delivery of goods during the day), which makes it possible for you to make a more precise forecast.

Level of needed availability

You can set the acceptable level of availability for each product in order to avoid write-offs. This makes it possible for you to balance the inventory through avoiding write-offs and maintaining availability.

Other factors

Fresh inventory management system takes into account all the basic factors: demand forecast, lead time, packaging ratio, supplier restrictions, demand variability, reserve inventory and the necessary display.
