Maintaining optimal stock levels is essential for seamless business operations. Autopilot manages this daily task with minimal need for help in the background.

However, unforeseeable events and occasional oversights can still put you at risk of stock shortages, impacting both your business and your customers. In moments like these, you might wish for a crystal ball to predict the future. While magic is not an option, Autopilot helps you handle such situations deftly and with confidence.

Autopilot is keeping watch

Autopilot proactively identifies potential low-stock risks months in advance. When a risk is detected, Autopilot provides actionable recommendations and helps you make informed decisions with ease.

Proactive Stock Monitoring

Autopilot forecasts potential shortages by analysing stock trends and delivery schedules. Our forecasting software monitors unexpected changes in your business, such as:

• Surge in sales: If demand unexpectedly increases, Autopilot suggests additional orders to replenish stock outside the normal ordering cycle.

• Drop in sales: If demand slows, Autopilot pauses reordering until excess stock is cleared, helping to prevent unnecessary costs.

• Delayed supplier delivery: Autopilot notifies you of any late deliveries.

If delays or sales surges threaten future service level targets, Autopilot alerts you with a percentage-based risk of stock shortage and the affected time period.

Supplier Coordination

If orders placed at the usual lead time would arrive too late, Autopilot notifies you in advance. The alert includes the time period at risk and the likelihood of a stockout. You can then negotiate faster delivery with your supplier or switch to alternative suppliers while stock levels remain sufficient. Autopilot conveniently lists alternative suppliers, along with their lead times and prices, to support quick decision-making.

In the long run, Autopilot tracks historical delivery performance, enabling you to negotiate better terms with unreliable suppliers or transition to more dependable alternatives.

Data Validation

Autopilot continuously checks for inconsistencies in your data, flagging potential errors to maintain operational integrity. If a data issue arises, our support team works closely with your warehouse software provider and IT staff to resolve it swiftly.

Effortless? Most of the time. Stay ahead of potential risks with Autopilot — your partner in efficient and proactive stock management.
