3PL Analytics and Reporting
Real-Time Reporting
a2b’s reporting platform, a2b Engage, offers real-time insight into our fulfillment operations, giving visibility into current inventory, orders, and trends. These analytics provide decision-making data so your company can swiftly adapt to changes and trends in the business environment. Ultimately, these insights lead to better strategic decisions, so you stay ahead of your competition.
Inventory Management
Inventory management visibility is essential for you to operate your business. Our reporting dashboard not only displays stock levels but breaks the data down into statuses, including: On Hand, On Order, On Hold, Damaged, Expired, and To-be-refurbished, giving you a crystal clear picture. For lot-controlled and expiry products, full details are available to help you ensure that you can manage and track this stock to remain in full compliance.
Additionally, you’ll be able to review your item list quickly, edit descriptions, see item velocity, and manage the bill of materials for kit/group items. And a detailed history report at the item level helps you reconcile your inventory and substantiate every "in and out" that has occurred.
Last, but not least, our forecasting tool suggests stock levels needed for each of our facilities and warns you when you’re getting low. This invaluable tool helps you maintain optimal stock where it's needed, minimizing costs and delivery times.
