Learn how to streamline your supply chain and maximize efficiency with our latest podcast episode

When aiming to optimize inventory and accurately predict demand, our solution engages in thousands of customer simulations to deeply understand future demand trends. This enables us to apply the 'par score'—a pivotal metric for inventory optimization. The par score ensures that inventory is placed in the optimal locations, whether for physical stores or e-commerce channels. Our approach is versatile, as we operate seamlessly across both channels and even extend our services to manufacturers.

Manufacturers can use our par score to determine the quantities they need to manufacture and hold in inventory. The par score acts as a common denominator in our methodology, providing a percentage ranging from 0% to 100%. For instance, an 85% par score for a specific product category and location signifies that there is an 85% probability of fulfilling the next customer's demands. This metric is forward-looking and predictive, helping businesses meet customer expectations effectively.
