Not so long ago it was only global retailing giants with heavyweight resources who were able to leverage their inventory to give them a competitive edge.

At Quantum Retail we've changed all that with Q, the intelligent inventory management solution. Q is the next generation inventory management software that determines inventory need anywhere in the supply network. Q's ability to detect and identify the way products sell in real time has revolutionized the traditional approaches to allocation and replenishment.


The difference between making a profit and losing your shirt

Now more than ever you have to work hard to earn the loyalty of your customers. And that means that your allocation and replenishment processes have to make it easy for them to get what they want, when they want it.

When stores bring their inventory management into line, clean up their assortments and make it easier for the customers to shop and find what they're looking for, sales go up. And in some cases, sales don't just go up in small increments, they do so in a spectacular fashion. Retailers that actively manage their inventories, striking the right balance between having what their customers want and having too much, are more profitable than those that don't. The key is to identify the preferences of every customer in each store and deliver on these in a timely manner.

 

The system that understands allocation and replenishment like no other

Q is capable of handling all allocation and replenishment activities for retailers, including both inventory optimization and inventory distribution activities. Q automatically handles warehouse to store allocation and replenishment, with as much or as little user input as desired. It accomplishes this thanks to its superior long range forecasting capabilities and ability to operate in real time.

The unfair advantage

Driven by each item's specific merchandise and financial goals, Q helps retailers optimize inventory for every product at every location every day. While pushing all short life product out at once may be a calculated move, this immediately restricts a retailer's options, leaving no room to make the most of full price sales. Q inventory software calculates demand and selling behavior for each product, at every store individually, proving the most detailed demand forecasting data of any solution available today. The Q demand platform takes into account dynamically created seasonal profiles, day of week, time of day, supply and demand side event management, and dynamic life-cycle management, which matches products to patterns created based on sales history. This enables Q to greatly reduce inventory investment and associated holding costs, while increasing full price sales and product availability. This approach enables you to divert resources from the losers that eat at your bottom line.

The inventory management system that pays for itself

Q's intelligent approach to inventory management means customers are happy because they get what they came for. And your stockholders are happy because you don't have money tied up in inventory that isn't moving. Unlike traditional inventory software, Q doesn't force you to make a choice between between profitability and efficiency. You can have it all. The payoffs start from the outset: no new hardware, fully up and running in under six months and at only a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. Guitar Center and New Look have both seen huge improvements to their replenishment and allocation processes with Q. You could too. Contact Us.
