Hi! I’m Charlie, a demand planner for a global construction goods manufacturer. I own the residential construction materials category. Follow along to see how I use Peak every day.

Inventory overview
This is my overview dashboard which I look at each week. It’s been created for my category only — so I know exactly where to focus. My manager has a view of all categories. Peak recommends for me what I need to reorder based on forecasted demand. Let’s take a look!

Recommended orders
This is where I can see all of Peak’s recommendations, and I can make the final call on whether or not to take the recommendation. I notice that Peak has recommended more LED bulbs to be ordered which feels high. I can click to view more details to understand why…

What I see here is that LED bulb demand is actually trending upwards, meaning that my current min and max stock levels are incorrect, and Peak’s prediction is most likely correct. I’m happy with that, and will reorder more from the supplier to make sure I meet demand and minimize loss of sales.

Reorder selection
I make sure I don’t have any other items I want to reorder, and I can order everything at the same time here. Today, I only need to order more LED bulbs.

Reorder selection
I can create a PO, and in this case, Peak is integrated into my ERP that automates the ordering process. I can also download it as a .csv file or directly integrate it to a purchasing system, if I want.

Values and outcomes
And that’s it!
I can now get back to other duties. Peak has helped me minimize the stock I’ve had to hold with its accurate demand forecasting — saving us a lot of working capital — and has ensured that my category is always hitting my target availability KPIs.
