Purchasing Intelligence
Purchasing Optimization
Buy for real demand instead of reacting to shortages or overstock.
The operating problem
Purchasing gets expensive when buyers cannot see consumption, committed demand and inbound supply together. Arvenix is designed to combine those signals and recommend whether to order, transfer, defer or hold.
Consumption
Rolling usage, frequency, variability, seasonality and demand pattern.
Supply
Open POs, expected dates, supplier lead time, MOQ and receiving performance.
Requirement
Available inventory plus sold demand and projected near-term consumption.
What the data could reveal
Connected operating data can reveal where execution is being constrained, where cash is tied up, and which actions have the greatest potential financial impact. The example below uses illustrative data.
Example open-order dollars segmented by recommended action after demand and inventory review.
| SKU | Available | Open PO | 30-day need | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLK-1001 | 32 | 40 | 61 | Hold PO |
| PLK-1003 | 4 | 0 | 28 | Order 24 |
| PAD-8LB | 28 | 20 | 31 | Hold |
| TM-1023 | 11 | 0 | 3 | Do not reorder |
