Due to the constant growth in the consumption of a commodity, material values in various industries, inventory management in supply chains is becoming significant element among all processes. The constant expansion of production involves the use of a much larger number of resources, which are reflected in the cost of production, thus the development strategy should be carried out taking into account many nuances, the state of affairs in the market. Every day, specialists must process a large amount of data, make numerous calculations on the consumption of stocks and the coming periods' needs, select the best ways to replenish the inventory, build effective supply chains from the counterparty to the department where each material used. The continuity of production processes is becoming the main task of the supply service chains, but this entails many additional operations, which are increasingly difficult to organize without the use of specialized tools, such as automation systems. Modern information technologies can solve most problems much more accurately and faster, allowing you to reduce costs, maintain a sufficient, balanced level of reserves. In the electronic chains of actions, there is no place for the human factor, when due to carelessness and heavy workload, errors arose in calculations, paperwork. Having set up a commodity delivery management strategy using hardware platforms, it becomes much easier to track their execution, by stages. If we ignore the construction of shops of goods and materials supply chains, this inevitably leads to lost sales, dissatisfaction with partners and customers, and an increase in the cost of storing frozen assets. Considering the amount of data, factors that must be used every day when adopting a rational supply strategy, it is not surprising that more and more business owners are choosing to optimize management through specialized programs. In addition, the implementation of hardware levels the problem of lack of resources and comprehensive analysis time, which means they're no longer be the ineffectiveness of the adopted strategies reasons. We offer our development of the USU Software system as the optimal optimizing the supply chains of goods and materials solution. The software configuration of the USU Software has not only a simple, easy-to-use, and manageable interface, but also a wide range of functionality that can be easily customized to the needs of a particular organization's inventory. The use of software allows achieving effective, transparent inventory management in the supply and logistics processes. The system is able to predict demand based on the data available in the database, which means purchases are made more rationally while maintaining the required insurance volume of resources. The functionality supports the auto-order format, displaying the corresponding requests on the employee's screen when a non-decreasing border is detected, to avoid disruptions in the supply chains of inventory material units. Determination of the optimal insurance stocks size depends on the analysis of previous periods, while the calculations take into account seasonal changes and others the size of inventory parameters. This approach to the implementation of the inventory management strategy in supply chains can significantly reduce the financial costs of maintaining the required level in warehouses. Employees able to use the program in solving operational, tactical tasks that arise when interacting with suppliers, for example, to optimize the amount of stock of each nomenclature unit, schedule delivery, and unloading, set a preliminary reserve, and plan sales. Automation affects the forecasting of the insurance size of inventory and the formation of orders along entire chains of operations, including the preparation of related documentation. The calculation of orders takes place in a few minutes, according to the configured formulas, which, if necessary, can be changed by those users who have the appropriate access rights. You can be sure that the strategy you have chosen in supply management is strictly supported, the system control each specialist, each stage, and in case of deviations, notify about it. The software configuration analyzes sales histories, external factors that directly or indirectly affect demand, as well as taking into account data on balances, checking them to compliance with the target level. Such modeling methods help to more accurately predict demand, plan the timing and size of the delivery. Using the capabilities of the application, you can achieve a balance in the costs of storing and transporting products. By identifying the optimal replenishment frequency, scheduling in the order of the provisioning processes, it possible to minimize spending, and make the load on the inventory even. All processes are completely transparent and correspond to certain parameters, which makes it impossible to employees to deviate from the established order of actions. The flexibility of the platform admits those users who have sufficient competence to develop their own schemes. The USU Software application becomes indispensable inventory management in supply chains assistant, as it has advanced capabilities and many useful options. Developing a strategy take much less time and effort on the part of the staff. Competitive conditions in the global market force entrepreneurs to look for new forms of business management, automated inventory control systems are becoming the optimal solution that allows growing and developing new directions. Taking advantage of all the advantages of software development, soon it possible to note an increase in regular customers, sales volumes, and a more loyal attitude on the part of partners. The calculation algorithms are built in such a way so it is possible to forget about intuitive calculus, imprecise forecasts. The reporting tool guide gets data on high turnover generated the highest percentage of total turnover items and which are not cost-effective to produce. Understanding the strategy of the movement of commodity flows makes it possible to regulate the development vector and release capital from ineffective areas. The introduction of the much-needed assistant is carried out by our specialists directly at the facility, or a distance, depending on the remoteness of the enterprise. Personnel can be trained in the same way, just a few hours is enough for a training course since the menu is built on the principle of intuitive understanding. As for the cost of the project, it depends on the set of functions and required for a particular client's capabilities, but we dare to assure you that even a novice businessman can afford such software. Using the application, it becomes easier for management to develop an effective strategy for inventory in supply chains' management, having previously made an analysis of the current state of affairs in the company. The replenishment of the inventory with material assets systematically takes place, according to the adopted schedule, taking into account the situation concerning balances at a certain date. Reduce the number of goods in warehouses and distribution centers to the optimal volume, while increasing service at each stage of supply. Thanks to the new level of service and resource control, it possible to minimize lost profits and increase customer loyalty. A competent approach to the procurement of goods and materials also helps to avoid lost sales and increase the availability of assortment. Due to a significant reduction in the amount of manual labor, the influence of the human factor, as the main cause of errors, is reduced. After the implementation of the USU Software configuration, the surplus of commodity resources is reduced as soon as possible. Automation of calculations while providing the enterprise with the required volume of nomenclature units increases the accuracy. Management of all procurement processes becomes much easier, due to the transparency of each user action. Electronic analytics and statistics help you assess supplier reliability by displaying metrics on timeliness in meeting contractual obligations. Write-offs and the need for sales of stale warehouse items are minimized since software algorithms do not allow assets to be frozen. The costs associated with storage and movement of goods are reduced, which is reflected in an increase in the company's financial performance. To protect proprietary information, limited user access to data is provided, depending on the position held. Automatic mode when preparing, filling out various documents not only saves employees' time but also guarantees exact compliance with the requirements and internal standards. To speed up various operations, including warehousing and inventory, the program can be integrated with equipment such as a scanner, barcode, data collection terminal, etc. For all types of work performed, analytical, statistical reports are displayed with a specified frequency, which allows the management to always study the current state of affairs in time. An internal communication link is created between departments, divisions, and branches, which helps to exchange information, resolve issues without leaving the office!
