🔑 Key Topics Covered
Understanding Inventory Replenishment in Counterpoint
The session opens by defining replenishment and why it’s the foundation of effective retail management. The presenters emphasize that inventory replenishment is more than refilling shelves — it’s a proactive strategy to balance customer demand, supplier timelines, and cost efficiency. You’ll see how Counterpoint gives retailers visibility into inventory performance, helping you anticipate needs instead of reacting to shortages. Proper replenishment ensures you avoid the pitfalls of both overstocking and stockouts, maintaining optimal stock levels year-round.
Setting Strategic Min/Max Levels for Smarter Replenishment
A strong inventory replenishment process starts with accurate minimum and maximum levels. The webinar demonstrates how to set these parameters for each product or category within Counterpoint. You’ll learn how to determine when an item should trigger replenishment and how to cap quantities to avoid tying up capital. Fast-moving items might need higher minimums and shorter replenishment cycles, while seasonal or specialty goods require tailored thresholds. With data-driven min/max settings, your replenishment plan stays agile and aligned with real-world performance.
Automating Replenishment and Purchase Orders
Automation is at the heart of modern inventory replenishment. In this portion of the webinar, you’ll see how NCR Counterpoint automates the reorder process based on the parameters you’ve set. The presenters guide you through generating purchase orders automatically, factoring in lead times, vendor preferences, and sales velocity. Automation ensures your replenishment workflow is efficient and accurate — eliminating manual errors, streamlining supply chain communication, and guaranteeing that no order is missed. You’ll also see how to review, adjust, and approve automated orders so you retain full control while saving hours of work each week.
Multi-Location Inventory Replenishment and Transfer Management
For businesses managing multiple retail sites, the session highlights how inventory replenishment can operate seamlessly across locations. You’ll learn to analyze stock distribution, identify imbalances, and execute transfers from overstocked stores to those with shortages. Counterpoint’s replenishment features allow you to manage both central and regional stocking strategies, ensuring every store is supported by data-informed supply planning. By optimizing inventory replenishment across your network, you can reduce excess, boost sell-through rates, and improve overall profitability.
Analyzing Replenishment Performance and Continuous Optimization
The presenters also focus on the analytical side of inventory replenishment — measuring what’s working and where improvements can be made. Counterpoint’s reporting tools reveal insights such as stockout frequency, turnover rates, vendor reliability, and fulfillment accuracy. With these metrics, you can fine-tune reorder points, adjust supplier agreements, and adapt your replenishment strategy to shifting trends. Effective inventory replenishment is never static — it’s an evolving process that responds to changing customer behavior, market conditions, and product lifecycles.
