Intelligent Inventory Management and Availability Optimization
In today’s market, success comes from getting the right product to the right place at the right time without tying up capital in inventory that doesn’t move.
For too long, inventory has been viewed only as a cost to be minimized or a service metric to be met. Leading companies are now reframing it through the lens of product availability, treating it as a driver of growth and resilience. Globally, inventory distortion costs businesses $1.8 trillion each year, including $47 billion in lost sales in North America alone.
This webinar will show how AI-driven availability optimization turns product availability into a strategic advantage. Building on research from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Pull Logic introduces two forward-looking KPIs:
- Product Availability Readiness (PAR): Ensures the right products are positioned where and when they’re needed.
- Robust Autonomy Period (RAP): Measures how long your supply chain can sustain customer demand without replenishment given disruptions in demand and supply.
Together, PAR and RAP help companies cut lost sales, free up capital, and build more resilient operations. You’ll also see how organizations are applying AI to:
- Capture growth by reducing lost sales opportunities
- Unlock working capital by minimizing excess inventory
- Strengthen resilience across global supply chains
- Balance efficiency with customer experience even during disruption
