Material Planning, Procurement & Inventory Management

Material Planning and Inventory & Purchase Management
A near Perfect planning greatly supports the business & help in optimizing supply chain costs.

Inventory & purchase management begins with planning function. Perfect planning requires clear understanding of finished products, its ingredients, SKUs that form the end product, SKU criticality in terms of serving the customer, supplier's production processes, their locations, routes for primary movement, transportation capabilities and overall business sense

Planning is a dynamic function because there are many variables & constant dependency on external out-of-control factors.

Team constantly coordinates between client & their marketing/procurement & promotions team, transporters, other service providers & manufacturers. A well-planned planning thus ensures uninterrupted & timely supply thus bringing client satisfaction.

Primary Transportation

Primary Transportation
We have long association with our service providers who also understand business requirements and support us for any emergency situation.

To know more on this please see the link on ImpelPro Xpress.

Primary transportation is the movement of supplier's finished goods to the distribution centre. Supplier's FG may or may not be the end product that is sold to the consumer. Most of the SKUs that we manage are not the direct end products but a part of end product's bill of material (BOM). Hence it becomes highly critical to supply all the BOM SKUs to every store for selling the end product to the consumer.

Primary transportation can be short-haul or long-haul, single temperature or multi-temperature, single pick-up or multiple pick-ups, single drop or multiple drops.
