Missing parts, full warehouses, and complex demand structures:
Disposition often means reacting to deviations instead of managing proactively.
This is exactly where the AI-based business software ADD*ONE comes in – with transparency, automation, and reliable forecasts.
The solution suite bundles and analyzes your inventory and demand data for you. If desired, it takes over routine tasks and immediately highlights relevant actions that need to be taken – including optimal order suggestions. This means you know which items you should order, when, in what quantity, and from which supplier, and you are notified of any exceptions at an early stage. The system provides you with exactly the information that is relevant to your specific task. Precisely prepared. Clearly prioritized. Ready to use.
This allows you to manage your inventory proactively. Impending bottlenecks or schedule deviations remain manageable.
Workdays become plannable again. Shortages and excess inventory are reduced.
The result: 50% less planning effort. Maximum delivery capability. Minimal storage costs.

What companies say about inventory management with ADD*ONE
Before using the software, we only had all the important data in Excel spreadsheets. ADD*ONE, on the other hand, optimally presents the data graphically, such as the sales history of each individual item, but also the forecast demand and existing orders. This allows us to understand how the data is developing overall much more quickly and effectively.

"Management by exception" and automated ordering processes
Dynamic calculation of optimal safety stocks
Regarding the “management by exception” principle: This has not only led to a significant reduction in the workload for employees, but also to the elimination of a full-time position that we no longer had to fill, which is a major advantage in times of skilled labor shortages. In addition, the working environment for our employees has become noticeably more relaxed.
