“Clients and Prospects alike ask us all the time for a turnkey solution that helps them better optimise their inventory as well as improve their demand planning” says Matthew Lingard, CEO, Optimum.consulting, and continues “from today we can help them fill this gap!”

Optimum.consulting and Smart Software, a leader in providing inventory optimisation, demand planning, and forecasting solutions software, are excited to announce their partnership to address the supply chain planning needs for clients in Australia and New Zealand. Looking ahead, Optimum.consulting will sell and deploy Smart Software’s next-generation Cloud platform, Smart Inventory Planning & Optimization (Smart IP&O™).

Smart Software is a Microsoft Co-sell-ready partner who has created a flawless connector to integrate tools with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365). By seamlessly integrating strategic planning in Smart IP&O with operational execution in D365, business users can continuously predict, respond, and plan more effectively in today’s uncertain business environment. Smart Software’s unique approach to planning intermittent demand is especially impactful for public utilities and transit agencies given the prevalence of spare parts with highly sporadic, seemingly un-forecastable usage.

Gain insightful Analytics for Inventory Modelling and Forecasting that drive Ordering and Replenishment

“Smart Software helps Optimum.consulting clients by delivering insightful business analytics for inventory modelling and forecasting that drive ordering and replenishment in D365.” Says Matt Lingard, CEO, Optimum.consulting. “With Smart IP&O, clients gain a means to shape their inventory strategy to align with their business objectives, while empowering their planning teams to reduce inventory and improve service.”

“Maximising the benefits clients can derive from using Smart IP&O requires the expertise of a partner who fully understands client requirements, to set goals, and to develop the supporting business processes needed to ensure client adoption. Optimum.consulting brings all these qualities to the table and we look forward to our joint success” says Greg Hartunian, President and CEO at Smart Software.
