Inventory Optimization (IOaaS)
Release Trapped Working Capital While Improving Product Availability
Most retailers struggle to balance inventory investment against customer service levels. Excess inventory ties up valuable cash, while insufficient inventory leads to stock-outs and lost sales.
AgoraCloud Inventory Optimization as a Service (IOaaS) continuously analyzes demand, supply variability, and inventory performance to determine the optimal inventory levels for every SKU and location.
Reduce excess inventory, improve availability, and make smarter replenishment decisions without investing in a dedicated data science team.

Are These Challenges Familiar?
Retailers often face a constant struggle between Finance and Operations:
-
Excess Inventory: Capital is trapped in slow-moving and overstocked products, increasing storage costs and reducing cash flow.
-
Stock Out & Lost Sales: Popular products run out of stock despite significant inventory investment elsewhere.
-
Static Inventory Policies: Traditional Min/Max settings often fail to adapt to seasonality, promotions, and changing customer demand.
-
Manual Inventory Planning: Merchandising teams spend significant time adjusting inventory parameters without clear visibility into business impact.
-
Low Inventory Productivity: Inventory grows faster than sales, resulting in declining inventory turns and reduced profitability.
