Walmart Replenishment

Walmart suppliers can help manage the supply chain and the retail replenishment process at both the distribution center and store level by providing timely sales, inventory and retail forecast data. Suppliers with the strongest customer relationship understand that managing this information is a critical step in driving sales opportunities, but the process can be overwhelming due to the complexity of the forecasting process and the sheer number of stores and sku locations.
TrueDemand automates this time consuming process so that analysts are quickly and easily notified about replenishment issues and suggested corrections are recommended. Through the use of proprietary science, TrueDemand is able to recommend changes to forecast variables as well as reorder points and safety stock levels. By incorporating demand intelligence into an intuitive workflow-based solution, the replenishment management process can be standardized across categories. To further facilitate the process, TrueDemand automatically tracks the impact of each recommendation for reporting back to the Walmart replenishment team.
