Make the Right Network Decisions Before Demand Forces Your Hand
Model your retail network, compare store and fulfillment scenarios, and understand the real trade-offs between cost, service, and capacity during peak demand and promotions without relying on spreadsheets or one-off studies.
To balance cost, service, and fulfillment across complex networks
Easy-to-use data interface with strong scenario modeling
“AIMMS enables us to quickly evaluate various scenarios that drive supply chain efficiency and customer satisfaction. The system allowed us to be up and running very quickly.”
Keep up with demand spikes without overcommitting capacity
Demand during Black Friday, Christmas, and in-store promotions can exceed forecasts, making it hard to plan inventory, build stock, and secure enough warehouse and transport capacity.
With AIMMS, you can test scenarios and decide how to serve demand across stores and fulfillment locations without overbuilding capacity or driving up cost.
Decide how to fulfill orders without sacrificing margins
Faster delivery and higher service levels often come with higher costs across inventory, transport, and fulfillment, especially when choosing between many smaller fulfillment locations or fewer centralized warehouses.
With AIMMS, you can compare network scenarios and choose the right balance between cost, service, and delivery speed.
Manage store and e-commerce fulfillment as one network
As in-store, e-commerce, and click and collect continue to grow, fulfillment decisions become harder to coordinate across channels. Retailers must decide where to fulfill home deliveries from, whether from stores, regional DCs, or dedicated e-commerce facilities.
With AIMMS, you can model your entire network and decide where to fulfill from to improve service without increasing complexity or cost.
Expand your network without locking in the wrong investments
Growth, new store formats, and changing demand require constant network adjustments. Decisions on where to add capacity and how to support new formats are costly and hard to reverse.
With AIMMS, you can simulate future scenarios and make confident decisions on locations, capacity, and expansion before committing capital.
Make high-impact decisions fast enough to stay ahead
During peak seasons and major promotions, decisions on capacity, inventory, and fulfillment must be made quickly, but traditional analysis is often too slow to keep up.
With AIMMS, you can evaluate scenarios in minutes and make confident network decisions before changes impact cost or service.
Go from complex trade-offs to clear, confident decisions
