Atlas Supplies Key Parts of Your Aftermarket Planning Advantage

  • Think Faster to Respond First

    The aftermarket parts challenge is multi-tiered: first you must balance erratic and intermittent demand, then optimize finished goods stock while rationalizing inventory by cost, margin contribution, storage capacity, service levels, and supplier lead time.

    Atlas lets your team conduct in-depth “what-if” scenarios and simulations to drive fast, precise decisions

    Our multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) right-sizes buffer stocks for superior cost and service

    More accurate forecasting across the entire product portfolio of both fast and slow-moving items helps optimize service levels

    Granular analysis and forecasting at the channel and individual order-line level lets you master long-tail demand

    Vendor managed inventory (VMI) capability builds a new level of trust and collaboration with customers.

  • Visibility to Collaborate with Everyone

    Connecting to dealer networks and retailers gives your team downstream demand visibility and puts demand sensing to work to position inventory more accurately across multiple tiers.
