Home Inventory Optimisation Inventory policy

Inventory policy software

Not every item in your inventory should be managed in the same way. Different products have different demand patterns, business value and availability requirements.

EazyStock helps you create inventory policies that reflect these differences. Items are automatically classified based on factors such as demand type, usage value, pick frequency, and volatility, helping you set appropriate service levels and stocking rules for different product groups. As conditions change, classifications and optimal stock levels are updated to keep your inventory strategy aligned with demand.

I feel vindicated because I had to justify the cost to the business. However, the results speak for themselves. EazyStock is a third-party provider we hold up as a shining example of how things should be and the minimum levels we expect. If providers aren’t meeting those levels, we review them.

Benefits of improved inventory policies

  • Investment in the right products. Prioritise the items that matter most and avoid investing the same amount in stock for every SKU.
  • Improved product availability. Align stocking policies and service levels with demand to maintain availability where customers need it most.
  • Reduced excess and obsolete inventory. Keep stock levels aligned with changing demand to reduce unnecessary inventory and free up working capital.
  • Increased agility to respond to changing demand. Replace static policies with dynamic calculations that keep stock levels up to date as forecasts and requirements change.
  • Consistent inventory decisions. Use data-driven classifications and stocking rules to support planners and reduce reliance on manual calculations.

How EazyStock supports inventory policy

EazyStock automatically classifies your inventory and optimises stocking rules, so you can invest in the products that matter most while keeping stock levels under control.  You can manage inventory according to the characteristics and importance of individual items, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all policy across your entire product range.

Build an inventory strategy that helps you maintain the stock needed to meet demand without tying up unnecessary working capital.

FAQs about inventory policy software

An inventory policy sets out how a business decides which products to stock, how much inventory to hold and when to replenish stock. It can include rules on product classification, service levels, safety stock and reorder points.

A clear inventory policy helps businesses balance product availability with inventory investment. Rather than treating every item the same, policies can reflect differences in demand and importance, reducing unnecessary stock while safeguarding availability.

Inventory policy software helps businesses apply and maintain stocking rules across their inventory. For example, EazyStock uses demand data and inventory classification to determine appropriate service levels, safety stock, reorder points and stock levels for different products.

Inventory classification groups items by characteristics such as demand type, annual usage value, volatility, and pick frequency. These classifications enable more granular service-level targets rather than relying solely on traditional ABC analysis.

An inventory policy sets the rules for how items should be managed, including their classification, target service level, and stocking approach.

Inventory planning puts those rules into practice by determining the stock levels and replenishment requirements needed to meet demand.

The two work together: your policy provides the framework, while planning translates it into day-to-day inventory decisions.

Inventory policies should be updated when conditions affecting your inventory change. Depending on the industry and product profile, this could be daily, weekly, monthly or annually. EazyStock recalculates optimal stock levels daily, taking updated forecasts, costs and supplier constraints into account, thereby reducing reliance on static min/max policies.

By setting different stocking rules for different types of inventory, you can avoid holding unnecessary quantities of lower-priority or slow-moving items. EazyStock also flags excess and obsolete inventory, so planners can act quickly.

Yes. Inventory policies that use a classification approach allow different inventory groups to have appropriate service-level targets, providing more granular control over availability than applying the same stocking strategy to every item.
