ABM Inventory
AI-based automated stock replenishment for retail supply chains
About ABM Inventory
ABM Inventory is a cloud inventory management system from ABM Cloud that forecasts demand per SKU and store and generates replenishment orders automatically. It is built for multi-store retailers and connects to an existing ERP rather than replacing it, covering fresh goods, promotions, seasonal planning, and supplier selection.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Automates daily order generation per SKU and store, removing manual purchasing calculations
- Strong handling of perishables, with shelf life, write-off prediction and weekday demand variation
- Works on top of an existing ERP instead of requiring a migration
- Covers promotions, seasonality and new-product forecasting in one system
- Includes a Qlik Sense BI module with 40+ inventory reports
- Vendor-led implementation and customer success support
Cons
- No public pricing; you have to request a presentation to get a quote
- Implementation projects typically run 5-7 months, depending on data quality
- Built for retail chains, so it is overkill for small shops or single-store ecommerce
- Very few independent user reviews on G2 and similar sites
Key Features
ML demand forecasting
Builds forecasts per SKU and point of sale using one of three forecasting models and only statistically significant demand factors.
Automatic replenishment
Calculates required quantities daily from demand, stock and goods in transit, then generates and sends orders to suppliers based on assortment matrices and schedules.
Fresh category management
Accounts for remaining shelf life, weekday demand swings and a simplified LIFO batch scheme to cut write-offs on fresh and ultra-fresh goods.
Multi-echelon inventory optimization
Balances stock across distribution centers and stores, supporting warehouse storage, cross-docking, pick by line and pick to zero flows.
Seasonal and promotion planning
Applies seasonality coefficients, multi-scenario seasonal plans and ML promo forecasts, then recalculates store stock during the promo period.
