Atlas Supplies Key Parts of Your Aftermarket Planning Advantage
- Think Faster to Respond First
The aftermarket parts challenge is multi-tiered: first you must balance erratic and intermittent demand, then optimize finished goods stock while rationalizing inventory by cost, margin contribution, storage capacity, service levels, and supplier lead time.
Atlas lets your team conduct in-depth “what-if” scenarios and simulations to drive fast, precise decisions
Our multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) right-sizes buffer stocks for superior cost and service
More accurate forecasting across the entire product portfolio of both fast and slow-moving items helps optimize service levels
Granular analysis and forecasting at the channel and individual order-line level lets you master long-tail demand
Vendor managed inventory (VMI) capability builds a new level of trust and collaboration with customers.
- Visibility to Collaborate with Everyone
Connecting to dealer networks and retailers gives your team downstream demand visibility and puts demand sensing to work to position inventory more accurately across multiple tiers.
Atlas’s advanced planning capabilities powered by machine learning optimizes inventory levels everywhere to reduce costs and free up working capital while responding to fluctuating tariffs and the ebbs and flows of demand.
