WINTER 2016

DDI System, a leading ERP software provider for
wholesale distributors, has released the latest version
of their Inform ERP Software, Version 14.
According to Jon Schreibfeder, president of
Effective Inventory Management, Inc., "DDI System
has successfully implemented much of our inventory
management research and up-to-date 'best practices'
ideas in their software." Every Inform ERP user
receives this free upgrade, which now includes a
purchasing system that rivals sophisticated and costly
third-party procurement solutions.
Inform ERP’s new Advanced Demand
Management focuses on identifying and managing
exceptions to deliver precisely forecasted purchase
orders. Distributors gain more inventory turns and
profit-making opportunities, finer control over sporadic
and slower-moving items, less overstock & carefully
managed branch inventory. Realize greater cash flow
& year-over-year profit gains.
Demand Analysis - Inform ERP looks deep into
every branches product demand, identifying Unusual,
Sporadic, and Recurring demand patterns.
More accurate, reliable forecasts are calculated
with automated forecast method assignment. The
recommended forecast approach is identified for
every product, in every one of your branches.
Inform enables fast purchase order calculations
with a continuous reorder quantity update. With every
transaction that impacts stock levels, a real-time
reorder quantity is recalculated, creating
instantaneous vendor replenishment projections.
The new 'Projected Purchase Order' is a powerful,
single screen purchasing view, incorporating every
detail that goes into crafting the ‘Perfect Purchase
Order’. Multi-location replenishment quantity, 'branch
overstock to transfer' guidance, and hover help reveal
every element of an items reorder quantity calculation.
DDI System's Inform ERP can replace sophisticated,
standalone forecasting and purchasing systems and
is more powerful than any standard ERP purchasing
module. With DDI’s Version 14, Inform can easily
master your inventory and purchasing challenges. This
feature is changing the way Inform ERP users are
stocking their inventories, decreasing overhead costs
of inventory investment and achieving higher
profitability.
