Do I really need special inventory management software if I already have an ERP system in use? Many purchasing and supply chain managers still mistakenly believe that an ERP system and Excel are enough – saving on the wrong end. The question of the need for inventory management software is quite simple to answer: Do you value efficient and modern scheduling? If the answer is yes, it is important to rely on intelligent inventory management software. We explain this in our blog post.

Following the successful acquisition of inventory specialist StatControl, the newly founded Remira Group continues to grow. The latest members of the group are log:IT and TIA A3 Forecast from Regensburg. With the acquisition, the Remira Group is expanding its range of products in the areas of warehouse management, supplier management and material planning, while at the same time strengthening its position as a solution provider for inventory optimization, precise sales planning and scheduling. In the future, customers will receive intelligent software tools for efficient inventory and inventory management from a single source.

Inventory management expert REMIRA continues its strategic expansion course: STATCONTROL, a specialist in certified statistical procedures for inventories and inventory controls, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bochum-based company. Through the merger, REMIRA and STATCONTROL pool their industry know-how and create important synergies for the development of groundbreaking software solutions in the areas of inventories, inventory control and optimization.

When it comes to fresh products, timing is everything. If perishable goods have been on the shelf for too long, it costs the grocer a cash coin. Not at MPREIS: In order to avoid excessive stocks and bottlenecks, the supermarket chain manages its stores and logistics center with LOGOMATE from REMIRA. Using intelligent inventory management software reduces MPREIS’s inventory and at the same time increases product availability. Out-of-stock situations are a thing of the past.

The supplier has an important function in the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI): He assumes the entire responsibility for the replenishment material planning and stock in the warehouse of the dealer. What are the advantages of this role swap in warehouse management? In his new white paper on supplier-driven inventory management, we highlight the positive impact on suppliers and dealers after the introduction of the VMI concept. We use a checklist to provide information on the key figures that need to be available for the successful implementation of VMI. The appropriate software solution for determining up-to-date inventory data and sales forecasts is of fundamental importance.

Why strategic inventory management makes sense

Imagine this challenge in inventory management: A customer wants to buy a specific item from you. But they can’t deliver it because they don’t have it in stock anymore. This situation does not occur once but on a regular basis. As a result, more and more customers are turning to a competitor. Inventory management has become a mission-critical factor before you get it right.

The Bavarian wholesaler ATP-Autoteile optimizes its disposition with LOGOMATE. REMIRA’s software solution ensures increased delivery capability and more efficient inventory management in the fast-growing company.

1 million stock items distributed nationwide

From a decentralized solution to a centrally controlled disposition for one million stock keeping units – this change was made by Österreichische Post in just six months. It has been achieved with REMIRA’s LOGOMATE inventory management software, which distributes the stock items to the 450 branches and 1,350 post partners nationwide. The introduction of the solution has already reduced stocks by ten percent, while at the same time the availability per item has increased by up to 15 percent. During the entire project implementation, Österreichische Post was supervised on site by the REMIRA sales partner ARBOR Management Consulting GmbH.

How does a modern user interface (UI) for digital inventory management has to be designed so that it has a high usability and efficiently supports work processes? The answer to this question will be given at LogiMAT 2019, in Hall 8, Booth C27, and at EuroCIS 2019 in Hall 9 Stand E21. Here, a part of the revised, web-based user interface is presented exclusively. Among other things, the new core functions ensure a more structured work, so that objectives are achieved even faster. The UI can be adapted to different users and task areas.

How digital are German companies? And have electronic processes already become established in inventory management? We wanted to know this and asked executives from different industries. The result: Digitalization has a high or even essential significance for almost all respondents. However, many are lagging behind in the introduction of digital processes.

According to the motto “Order today – install tomorrow”, ATP Auto-Parts-Pöllath offers its customers almost one million items in online shipping. The ever-increasing number of orders recently required a restructuring of inventory management and scheduling. To automate processes, the largest German retailer on eBay introduced REMIRA’s LOGOMATE inventory management software. The first positive results are already measurable: better delivery capability and associated reduction of out-of-stock situations.
