Glossary

The terms the system computes in. Half of these words mean something different in every network — here is what they mean here.

Coverage

How many days the current stock lasts at the current rate of sale. The platform's core figure: everything is ranked by it.

Need

How much must arrive for coverage to survive until the next delivery, given lead time and safety stock.

Demand

The actual outbound movement of goods, cleared of write-offs, returns and transfers. Not “the sales total from a report”.

Dead stock

An item with no movement for longer than a set period, with the amount of money frozen in it computed per location.

Pack multiple

How many pieces are in the supplier's pack. Orders round to it — otherwise the supplier rounds instead, and not in your favour.

Channel

A supplier, a schedule and a recipient bound together. One supplier can have several channels for different product groups.

Run

A single order calculation: the snapshot of stock and demand a particular file came from. A run always shows what it was built from.

Show us one critical process. We will show how it runs here.

We look at your cycle: how an order is assembled today, who decides, where time leaks and what the system takes over.

Start with one critical process

Connect replenishment, supplier ordering or another first workflow, then expand across one platform.
