Manhattan Associates’ Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimisation software excels in managing the most complex supply chain inventory challenges for wholesalers and retailers by eliminating the use of siloed conventional single-echelon systems in multi-level distribution networks. Part of our best-in-class Inventory Optimisation suite, Multi-Echelon is designed to solve the thorny problems that can occur when a distribution network has multiple nodes / echelons in their supply chain between the supplier and end point.
Multi-Echelon automates the recognition and resolution of conflicts among the echelons involving planning, forecasting, replenishment, service level goals, overstocks and inventory allocations. For example, unexpected replenishment of a Level 2 distribution centre may have near-term repercussions on a Level 1 distribution centre, and ultimately on all Level 2 centres in the network.
Multi-Echelon also provides these supply chain inventory management capabilities:
Additionally, most replenishment decisions for multi-echelon inventory focus on the store level with nothing taken into account at any distribution centre level. Multi-Echelon solves that problem by easily integrating with Manhattan’s Replenishment solution to synchronise replenishment decisions throughout the enterprise.
