How does it work?

- The system collects all data from suppliers and retailers and generates recommendations for individual products and quantities to be ordered by the branches.
- These recommendations are based on the evaluation of a number of factors such as historical data, customer or product-based forecasts and many others.
- Valuable evaluations and analyses like sales or KPI’s can be presented through customized dashboards and reports.
