    Altron Arrow launches Inventory Management as a Service

    Altron Arrow launches Inventory Management as a Service - Renato Martins
    Altron Arrow MD Renato Martins

    Altron Arrow has launched a new business process outsourcing service (BPOS) called Inventory Management as a Service (IMaaS).

    IMaaS minimises inventory issues by offering an outsourced end-to-end inventory management solution, including warehousing.

    The solution is ideally suited to customers in the electronics manufacturing market that are facing challenges with their stock holding and are losing – or cannot account for – components. Altron Arrow is able to resolve these problems while at the same time improving reporting, providing real-time inventory tracking and visibility, streamlining warehouse operations, reducing waste, and improving audit compliance.

    The solution is ideally suited to customers in the electronics manufacturing market

    Altron Arrow’s IMaaS offers significantly reduced inventory-related costs by optimising stock levels and minimising overstocking and stockouts. This allows businesses to avoid tying up capital in excessive stock – and the associated storage costs – while at the same time ensuring it has sufficient stock to meet customer demand. A significant benefit is that IMaaS provides measurable return on investment and tangible cost savings to businesses.

    Another advantage of Altron Arrow’s IMaaS solution is dramatically improved inventory accuracy, a reduction in errors in stock management and forecasting, and real-time, data-driven insights for better decision making. Furthermore, an improved inventory management system allows for improved cash flow.

    Broad offering

    Renato Martins, MD of Altron Arrow, said: “Efficient inventory management is the cornerstone of a successful business. However, successfully managing stock can be complicated. In a highly competitive business environment, keeping costs contained is critically important and inventory management failures can be costly for a business, impacting both profitability and the sustainability of the business. That’s why we made significant investments in our IMaaS offering, including in software development and customising a newly acquired x-ray scanner.”

    Altron Arrow helps customers with a broad offering which includes BPOS, electronic components distribution, enterprise computing solutions and supply chain management.
