Inventory Optimization

Equipment manufacturer modernizes EMEA inventory planning for service parts and accessories.

A global equipment manufacturer turned to SCPI to modernize inventory planning across its EMEA parts and accessories network, where manual processes and demand variability were driving excess stock while falling short on service.

The end results: an automated, exception-based planning platform that reduced inventory levels, lifted service levels, and boosted planner productivity — replacing spreadsheets with data-driven replenishment integrated into Microsoft Dynamics.
