Vanguard Predictive Planning™ for Supply Planning

Balance inventories across your distribution network and be certain you have the right amount of product on hand in the right place at the right time. Vanguard brings unparalleled efficiencies and cost savings to your MEIO and supply planning.

Omnichannel Optimization

Achieve ideal inventory levels across your distribution network, taking into account multi-echelon dependencies. Lower your storage costs while increasing service levels.

Reduce Stock Outs

By optimizing inventory strategies across every network level, companies stand to reduce inventory levels by 10-30% while also lowering – if not eliminating – stock-outs.

Lead Time Precision

Plan based on actual product lead time. Use advanced probabilistic planning to ensure windows aren’t too long, resulting in higher costs, nor too short, risking out of stocks.

Materials Resource Planning

Get an end-to-end view from raw materials demand to production. Model constraints, ingest BOMs, generate POs, and see end-to-end impact with our replenishment dashboard.

Production Scheduling

Use MRP data to feed your MPS. Automate inventory planning, using the most up-to-date forecasts, constraints, and business drivers, empowering planners to manage by exception.

Increase Service Levels

Model and run what-if scenarios with different inventory strategies, including service levels. Support reduction of investment balance while optimizing service levels.
