The Sakata Group provides a multi-site inventory management support service for shippers by linking our self-developed “Base inventory allocation system” with our 3PL service.

1. About the Base inventory allocation system

The following is a summary of the features of the “Base inventory allocation system” provided by the Information Center and our Systems Department.

(1) Supports inventory distribution between bases based on past shipment results, sales plans, production plans, and inventory results

• It is possible to set the minimum number of months of inventory based on past shipment results, sales plans, production plans, and inventory results, and support replenishment of production inventory to bases and creation of inventory transfer plans between bases.

(2) Inventory distribution data can be created by calculating the number of loading cases per pallet for charter vehicles.

• By replacing the data of movement to the base with the number of pallets, it is possible to calculate the number of pallets loaded on a truck and confirm the number of trucks required.

(3) Inventory distribution data can be shared on the Web and managed by participating in multiple departments.

• By displaying a tabular screen on the Web and importing CSV data, it is possible to input necessary data and share inventory data in each department of production, sales, and distribution.

(4) Inventory movement plans for the following month can be created in advance, and daily movement volume adjustments can be set.

• Create a daily inventory movement plan for the following month based on the number of truck loads set in advance from the sales plan and production plan, and modify and set the inventory movement plan for the following day and onward by inputting and adjusting actual results.
