Harnessing the power of culture, customer first emphasis,
technology, and partnership to increase inventory turns.
BALL
GROUND, Ga. & ANNAPOLIS, Md. , April 16,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- LAT Apparel's business
depends on their customers being able to order same-day shipments
confidently, not leaving anyone out, knowing they made the right
choice. It is no easy task with thousands of active and fresh
designs, hundreds of colors and fabrics in sizes ranging from
Newborn to 6XL.Maintaining same day shipment inventory in this
environment requires innovation and a community of customers,
partners, and employees.
It was a no brainer decision when InvenPril
offered a managed service trial for $197/month.
Mindy Anastos, VP of Production
Planning knew a typical Inventory Optimization implementation was
not feasible. LAT viewed increasing inventory turns as an
all-inclusive customer success effort, which would require going
beyond the typical program implementation process.
Mindy said "it was a no-brainer" decision when InvenPril offered
a unique inventory management procedure through a managed service
trial that would prove the system or not . LAT's ERP provided
regular inventory status and forecast updates, while the InvenPril
team fine-tuned the program logic capturing the nuances of LAT's
total enterprise. Through the interaction of reviewing regular
replenishment recommendations, Mindy commented, "we frequently saw
improvements in our next run" in just a few days.
Steven McLendon, ATi Board Member
and former CEO of Balanced Inventory said, "InvenPril strives to
position their customers' inventory to maximize sales and profits."
InvenPril's low-cost, high impact trial subscription fosters
constructive feedback enabling us to provide the customer with real
value quickly." The setup was quick using LAT' s FDM4™ERP to
provide their Inventory Status plus a rolling 12 month forecast
through an FTP connection. InvenPril automatically generates a
succinct Buy Recommendation while highlighting any items requiring
immediate attention. InvenPril quantifies Inventory in
Days-of-Sales (DOS), "coverage" terms as well as quantity compared
to LAT's forecast. As a result, LAT knows exactly what they need to
buy and when down to the SKU level.
Robert (Bob) Bona, CEO of
AdvanTech-Inc. InvenPril's parent company, said "the initial
emphasis of the system was to eliminate stock-outs while
maintaining certain days-of-supply in the very diverse atmosphere
of the US Military Recruit Training Centers." Bob went on to say,
"It just so happens, LAT's business model mandates the same
all-inclusive, no one left behind" customer service attribute.
InvenPril's unique implementation approach was designed to achieve
measurable results with minimal effort in a brief time."
Together, "LAT increased inventory turns by 16% in nine months
while slashing stock-outs."
Mindy shared "from L.A.T. Apparel's perspective, we are
improving inventory turns while ensuring our customers can order
with confidence through our dedication to operational
excellence."
