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.
Our planning team is highly experienced in managing all the complexities, supported by timely generation of critical reports. 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 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.
Storage is physical holding of inventory from the point
is
it received at the DC till it is required by the client.
It needs to be
stored in a desired & in prescribed manner. These norms include stacking
heights, storage temperature, special humidity requirements, shelf-life,
expiry,
physical & other damages, packaging, protection from infestation, security
of
stocks etc.

We operate from 7 integrated (dry + temperature controlled) facilities & 11 dry facilities with storage capacity of 6500+ pallet positions. We have highly evolved CS function & experienced team managing excellent customer service since inception.
This function involves close interaction with client's store operating team,
client's supply chain team and sometimes their marketing team.

required. All orders are compiled and pick orders are given to warehouse
team.
