What is Streamline?
Streamline is a desktop application for demand forecasting and inventory replenishment planning. The robust time-series decomposition approach employed allows Cornerstone to create a highly accurate statistical forecast that provides a solid basis for further demand planning processes. Streamline effectively incorporates modern planning technologies and strategies with inventory optimisation tools and provides crucial and timely information for decision-making.
If inventory information is not entered into Streamline, it operates solely as a demand forecasting tool. If sufficient inventory data has been provided, Streamline can produce a perfect just-in-time inventory replenishment plan that simultaneously minimises stock shortages and excesses, optimising your investment in inventory.

STREAMLINE
Streamline imports sales history and inventory information from a spreadsheet, database, or an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or accounting system.
It generates statistical forecasts based on sales history, information about shortages, and upcoming promotions. The forecast can be adjusted manually using various methods based on the client's specific requirements.
Finally, the forecast is used to create replenishment orders and export them back to Client’s inventory management system. In addition, Streamline can generate demand and revenue plans.

CORNERSTONE INVENTORY BENEFITS
Proof of Concept
Cornerstone will run a Proof of Concept (POC) for our Client by using 24 months’ sales data, stock on hand, open Purchase Orders (POs) and Sales Orders (SOs) to forecast the potential improvements by means of Streamline. The solution will be implemented at no cost (T&Cs apply) and measured no later than 3 months after implementation date (lead time dependent). As soon as a minimum agreed percentage of the benefits realise, Cornerstone will invoice the fees as per this proposal from start date to current date.
Satisfaction Guarantee
Should the agreed minimum percentage of the forecasted benefits not have realised after the agreed period, our client has the option to give notice with immediate effect and none of the proposed fees will apply.
This clause will not apply should our client opt not to select the BPO service and also when the BPO suggestions and advice in line with the Streamline optimal inventory strategy is blatantly disregarded.
