Summary
Since 2001, we have devoted our energies into building technologies that utilize advanced math and science to improve inventory profitability for companies that stock a lot of SKU's. Over the years, we have helped many SKU intensive organizations more optimally stock inventory at each of their locations that capture more sales from their inventory while reducing unproductive dead stock. Yet the majority of companies have not adopted enterprise forecasting and replenishment solutions from Thrive or our competitors, choosing to use their ERP system and spreadsheets. Most of these companies admittedly struggle with inventory inefficiencies and unnecessarily high lost sales and dead stock. But in their defense we also know that implementing an enterprise forecasting and replenishment system is very disruptive, expensive and risky. Candidly, it may not work for your business. To address this roadblock, we have developed AI technologies that prevent dead stock and reduce lost sales for SKU intensive companies without a risky expensive disruptive software implementation. These technologies are live within 30 days and are very affordable even for small companies. Thrive is now the leading provider of AI ERP Inventory Optimizers for SKU intensive organizations including those using Epicor Eclipse, Prophet 21, JD Edwards, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and Infor ERP systems. Thrive's award winning technologies help companies that have to stock thousands of low volume SKU's as well as companies that have to cope with constantly changing demand and supply. Our clients view us as a long term strategic partner, helping them proactively deal with change and supporting their initiatives for growth and efficiency. On a daily basis, we strive to add innovations to the Thrive system to improve each of our clients' businesses. We are always looking for smart people who enjoy helping businesses get better and have experience with distribution buying, operational improvement, and supply chain analysis.
