## Forecast-Based ERP and Third-Party Buying Systems Cause Inventory Challenges

Thrive's studies of hundreds of North American wholesale distributors show that SKUs that sell fewer than 10 times per year cannot be forecast accurately. Thrive's studies also show that these SKUs cause the majority of dead stock.

Thrive’s ERP optimizers monitor multiple characteristics of recent sales to calculate optimal stocking levels of low-selling items, resulting in maximum sales with minimum inventory. Thrive's clients have seen parts fill rates by at least 8% and an average reduction of dead stock of 78.5% in 12 months.

In addition, large sudden changes in sales and lead times also cause dead stock and lost sales.

Thrive’s ERP optimizers monitor multiple characteristics of recent sales and purchase order receipts versus forecast and planned lead times to alert buyers to significant variances.
