Caliq - the ultimate business software solution for value-added distribution

 

Purchasing and Stock Forecasting

Today's lean, customer service focussed distribution businesses depend upon holding the right amount of stock of the right products yet have to balance stock holding against cash flow and space utilisation.

Buyers need to spend their time sourcing, negotiating, improving margins and minimising procurement costs, not hours every week working out what to buy and then raising the purchase orders.  CALIQ frees them up to do what they do best by automating the 80% and highlighting the 20% that needs skilled buying decisions to get it right.
