Advanced Demand Forecast
The backbone of any purchasing software has to be an accurate demand forecast. K3S has worked tirelessly to provide an algorithm that adapts to each product

Reduce Inventory
Reduce your inventory by 20% or MORE!
While overstock can affect all of your inventory, we often find that wholesalers are extremely overstocked on slower-moving items. By providing accurate demand forecasts and balancing inventory by time supply, we ensure that no items from a supplier are carried too "heavy."
Increase Service Levels
Increase service levels by 5-10%
How much safety stock do you need to ensure your target fill rates? The answer is...it depends. Each product in your warehouse behaves differently, so K3S won't treat them all the same. Stable products need less safety stock. Really important products need more. K3S uses 12 factors to determine how much safety stock you need on every item!
Save Time
The tools in K3S can lead to a 40% reduction in labor.
Without the right tools, placing smart and accurate purchase orders can be a time-consuming task. By handling the calculations ahead of time, monitoring inventory daily and building suggested orders automatically, K3S will generally reduce the time spent on placing purchase orders by 40%!
Boost Profits
The power of automated forward buys adds to your bottom line.
In addition to reduced inventory, increased service levels and labor savings, K3S automates the process of forward buying. This feature reduces your inventory acquisition cost by taking advantage of price breaks from your suppliers allowing you to apply that saving directly to your bottom line.
