ABM Inventory gas Station

2019

Prerequisites of the Project

• lack of an assortment matrix by each TT therefore, the seller ordered only those goods which found necessary in own opinion;
• lack of data on the minimum order, multiplicity of packaging;
• the property of the person to be reinsured conducted to orders above real requirement and, respectively, to an excess remaining balance and freezing of money;
• there was no tool for supplier analysis and their reliability;
• there were no data on the correct calculation of goods on the shelf;
• usually sellers on places solved local problems, did not carry out monitoring of a situation and the analysis on network in general and were not guided by the global purposes of the company;
• there was no convenient tool allowing to estimate the size and to analyze the reasons of excesses (overstocks) and the missed sales (out-of-stocks).

ABM Inventory choice reasons

• 1. The methodology of a system is based not on forecasting, and on replenishment of a warehouse according to consumption that allows to avoid excesses and not to get to the missed sales. In approach data on recent demand and that how often the goods can arrive on shop at gas station are considered. At the heart of approach – the Theory of constraints of systems;
• 2. Existence of the separate block on analytics which allows to keep track of dynamics of key indicators of the company: the missed sales, excesses, turnover;
• 3. Sending supplier orders on EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) which accelerates process of a design, sending and document handling to 75%;
• 4. Thanks to the fact that the solution ABM Inventory is cloud there is no need for heavy capital investments in the software and the necessary equipment.
• 5. User training at all stages of the project, both on work with a system, and on methodology of management. And also technical and methodological maintenance after project completion.
