Delight your customers with better availability and fresh goods and save costs while doing that

To compete in today’s agile world, it is essential to effectively balance the drive for better customer service against inventory investment and ensure purchasing aligns with the expected demand for future periods. Whether you are purchasing components, raw materials, or finished goods, purchasing requirements need to consider demand for the planning period, supplier lead times, and work with business constraints such as packaging requirements and minimum order quantities.

Through Solvoyo’s automated Purchase Order Planning solution, you can have a complete overview of your operations, order the right quantities considering operational constraints and monitor your spending. The solution dynamically sets the target stock levels through prescriptive analytics and recommends optimal timing and order quantities to ensure stock availability and prevent excess stocks.

Purchase Order life-cycle is visible online, allowing planners to focus their efforts on managing exceptions. By directly linking up the platform to your order management systems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or any other), Solvoyo can automatically trigger PO creation, closing the loop for complete automation.
