How to choose the right Supply Chain Management Software for your company?

Choosing the right solution requires looking beyond features.

Here are the key evaluation criteria:

1. Forecasting sophistication

Does the tool rely on static models, or does it use Machine Learning and probabilistic forecasting?

2. Inventory logic

Is Safety Stock dynamic? Can it optimize across multiple sites?

3. Implementation speed

Will it take 18 months — or 8 weeks?

4. Ease of use

Will planners adopt it? Is it intuitive?

5. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

What are the hidden IT, maintenance, and customization costs?

6. Vendor expertise & ROI proof

Can the vendor demonstrate measurable results in companies similar to yours?

The best solution is not the most complex one.

It’s the one that delivers measurable impact quickly.
