GMDH helps my team to place orders at the right time since the software posses the option to determine the ideal buffer stock for each SKUs. Similarly, this software is very useful when we are planning to bring new SKU, as its capable of identifying a similar type of item behavior and their seasonality performances. Based on these factors, it helps me and the purchasing team to understand the actual order requirement. Moreover, Integration to databases/Excel, is a very important feature of GMDH, since it helps to exchange the data seamlessly. Also, this software enables my organization to minimize unnecessary expenses on demurrage, insurance, third-party storage and hiring part-time Blue-collar workers due to proper forecastings generates by this software. Also, detailed graphs, charts, and dashboards provide comprehensive guidance for us on how to plan the next order for the company.

Inconvénients

We had to find the skilled staff to read the data and information provides by the software properly. Unless you have the right set of people, we cannot capitalize on this software to the max, hence we need to spend time and money to find the ideal people to operate this software while paying a decent salary to them. In fact, some information is a bit tricky aspect and difficult to understand; however, due to superb customer service and support, we are able to resolve these concerns timely.

Avantages

Great reporting with easy exports that can be directly used in other internal planning processes.
You can seriously never run out of stock again, provided you give it accurate information.
Outputs (reports) can be used to assist all departments in your business.
Awesome instruction manual that explains everything. I wish every piece of business software had something like it.

Inconvénients

If you use a software that does not have a direct integration with Streamline, setup can be a little difficult and tedious, but nothing that can't be overcome. You just need to know where to source your data on a weekly/monthly basis and format it in a spreadsheet for Streamline. The instruction manual will walk you through it. Most of my trouble was with exports from our own software on my end, not streamline.

Avantages

Streamline is one of the best supply chain planning solutions able to support redefining and adapting supply chain strategies based on the build-in tools which help demand planners and S&OP get their work down quickly & efficiency. With Streamline demand planners gain reliable demand-driven forecast aligned with supply chain strategy and planning. Working or Implementing Streamline during the pandemic period ensure visibility & control due to build-in tools as Forecast Override, Safety Stock Calculation, Integrated Demand and Inventory Planning, and optimization of inventory via Inter-Store Transfers. Streamline can handle all supply chain business and Enterprise processes and I recommend Streamline to all demand planners & S&OP

Inconvénients

Not relevant. The software is constantly being updated with the latest technology and will soon be available as SAAS solution.

Avantages

The insights provided with streamline have freed up capital by lowering stock levels while at the same time reducing the amount out-of-stock items.

Inconvénients

The software works great but the license is linked to a physical computer. So it limits f.e. the option to work from home or on the road.

Avantages

Integrates Demand, Supply and Inventory Planning in a single and very complete software. It is quick and easy to implement and use in a few weeks. Program functionalities are perfectly aligned with good practices. I was able to identify 40%+ reduction in inventory immediately that is being achieved according to leadtimes, while improving service levels. There are various methods to feed the information into the software which allows more time for analysis and business results improvement.

Inconvénients

I did not find real downsides. If anything, this kind of software by its nature is not integrated with the systems that hold the source information. Nonetheless, this process can be done manual or automatic with little effort.

Avantages

-Ease of use
-Faster than working on excel
-Forecasting & planning features are awesome
-Pulling automatically orders & inventory from our inventory management software through API connection

Inconvénients

So far I do not have any negative comments to provide on the software.

Avantages

The system includes very complete functionality, since it ranges from demand planning to supply planning, including the ability to manage MRP, DRP and interstore optimization.

The ability to handle demand at a month, week or day level is also very important and finally the ability to import historical information in a grouped or transactional way.

Inconvénients

The capacity for collaborative work has been increased, but I would like to include building blocks in the future, as well as the SaaS-type deployment.

Avantages

Easy and fast connection to ERP systems or Excel files. Efficient, very fast algorythm . Very friendly, intuitive interface. Has almost full functionality like big very expansive systems. Extremely fast implamentation. Fast professional suport.

Inconvénients

System follows our expectations till now.
