Niyu Smart Stock is an advanced inventory management and replenishment tool designed specifically for businesses utilizing Odoo. It effectively integrates historical demand data, current inventory levels, incoming orders, transfer amounts, lead times, warehouse capacities, and planning guidelines to formulate a comprehensive action plan for each product per warehouse. Rather than simply providing forecasts, it proactively informs teams about critical areas that require focus, indicates items that can be transferred from one warehouse to another, suggests what needs to be purchased, and specifies the timing for these actions. Each suggestion is substantiated by data such as Demand History, out-of-stock durations, forecast specifics, anticipated inventory coverage, safety stock levels, minimum order quantities (MOQ), order multiples, and lead times. Additionally, users have the capability to initiate internal transfers and create draft Requests for Quotations (RFQs) directly within Odoo, organize purchase batches, oversee stock across multiple warehouses, factor in demand from Point of Sale (POS) systems, manage replacements for obsolete products, apply various exclusions, and monitor the implementation process. Smart Stock empowers distributors, retailers, and wholesalers to move away from traditional spreadsheet-based planning, enabling them to adopt a more efficient and repeatable workflow seamlessly integrated within Odoo, ultimately enhancing their operational effectiveness.
