The Inventory Management Software for Optimal Stock Levels
The numi Inventory Management Software is an AI-powered solution for inventory optimization in purchasing and demand planning. It helps buyers and planners position the right stock at the right time in the right place – with automated purchase recommendations generated directly from your ERP data.
In many companies, static inventory parameters, inaccurate lead times, and rigid lot sizes cause MRP runs to produce either shortages or excess stock.
Traditional ERP systems rarely allow users to simulate and optimize the effects of lead times, target service levels, or order frequencies. They also lack integration of AI-driven forecasts into replenishment planning.
The numi Inventory Management Software solves exactly these challenges: algorithms automatically optimize inventory parameters, calculate real lead times, and generate transport-optimized purchase proposals that can be written back to your ERP system with one click – so purchase orders are created automatically.
The Inventory Management Software is part of the modular Supply Chain Software numi and works seamlessly with the apps for Forecasting and Purchasing.

Transparent and Collaborative Inventory Planning
With the Inventory Management Software, planners and buyers can proactively identify products approaching end of life, detect overstock situations, or track items nearing expiry.
Dynamic inventory segments enable simulation and financial evaluation of different inventory scenarios – such as varying order frequencies, lot sizes, or target service levels.
This transparency allows companies to analyze the impact of every decision and create a unified, data-driven planning process across all departments.

Identify Optimal Inventory Planning Parameters Automatically
The software detects deviations between the parameters stored in your ERP (e.g. safety stock, reorder points, or lead times) and the optimal values per SKU.
Based on this, numi provides daily prioritized recommendations that can be synchronized to your ERP with a single click.
In addition, the Inventory Management Software generates transactional recommendations – such as reallocations or order adjustments – that support operational decision-making, reduce global stock levels, and stabilize supply performance.

The numi Inventory Management Software combines AI algorithms, simulations, and automated processes into a modern solution for optimal stock levels at minimal cost.
Planning, procurement, and supply-chain teams work seamlessly together – resulting in measurably higher service levels, lower inventory values, and faster decision cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions about Inventory Management Software
What is inventory management software?
Inventory management software helps companies plan and optimize stock levels, safety stocks, and ordering parameters across the entire supply chain. Modern AI-powered solutions like numi automate purchase recommendations and integrate seamlessly with existing ERP systems.
How does numi reduce inventory levels?
numi analyzes historical consumption data, forecasts future demand, and calculates optimal safety stocks, reorder points, and order quantities per SKU. Typical customers reduce their inventory by 10–15% without compromising service levels or availability.
Which ERP systems does numi’s Inventory Management Software support?
numi supports integrations with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, weclapp, xentral, plentymarkets, and Infor LN. Stock levels, purchase orders, and master data are synchronized automatically – no manual data maintenance required.
What is the difference between inventory management and warehouse management?
Warehouse management (WMS) focuses on the physical organization of the warehouse – where items are stored, picking, and packing. Inventory management operates one level above: how much of each item should be reordered, when, and from where? numi addresses the planning and optimization layer and complements traditional WMS systems.
How long does it take to implement the Inventory Management Software?
Initial inventory analyses and automated purchase recommendations are typically productive within a few weeks – without lengthy IT projects. Implementation starts with a demo and a structured assessment of your current planning situation.
