Automation doesn’t end there. With labor shortages, automation extends beyond the software by integrating with autonomous robots to handle orders and pack shipments in the warehouse. Delivery drones might also be on the horizon, but that’s still To Be Determined.
You can get ahead of problems before they impact customers and gain a significant competitive advantage with NetSuite’s predictive capabilities, automations, and real-time visibility into your supply chain.
As your business scales, so does its complexity. Keeping track of inventory becomes increasingly challenging with products constantly flowing in and out of warehouses, retail stores, and manufacturing facilities. Without real-time visibility, how are you to make cost-effective, strategic decisions?
If you don’t have visibility, you won’t know if you’re over-ordering, running out of stock, or dealing with theft. How does NetSuite help?
Real-time inventory visibility is a strategic advantage. Always knowing the status of your inventory puts you in a better position to make your customers happy, and by optimizing inventory, you can free up working capital to reinvest in growth opportunities.
You can’t afford to be in the dark when it comes to inventory, and NetSuite gives you the clarity and confidence you need to deliver on your promises and grow a successful business.
While real-time inventory visibility helps drive decision-making because you always know what you have and where it’s kept, demand forecasting is another ball game. Anticipating customer demand is one of the biggest challenges in supply chain management, and NetSuite helps you do it with ease.
If you order too little inventory, you risk losing customers before they become customers. You’re wasting money, time, and space if you order too much. That’s where NetSuite’s powerful demand forecasting capabilities come to the rescue.
It enables you to predict future inventory needs based on the following:
Thanks to intelligent algorithms, NetSuite generates reliable demand forecasts based on your company’s historical and current data. It also provides insights to make data-driven decisions about your inventory and business.
Building a successful business is always a little bit of a guessing game, and it’s your job as a CEO or executive to minimize the amount of guessing you have to do. NetSuite helps you predict and meet customer demands every time.
One of the biggest challenges for manufacturers is keeping production lines humming without interruption. All it takes is one missing part or an unexpected surge in orders to throw a wrench in things and cause missed deadlines or costly downtime.
