Superhero Supply Chain: Put a Stop to Spreadsheets!
"Superheroes? ", you ask, "I thought this was the story of predictive analytics and inventory optimization! Superheroes are distractions in a business story".
Well, let's think about that for just a moment. Superheroes have powers that don't exist in reality. Yet we still love them for what they do. Superheroes help us escape from our daily lives into something exciting and brilliant. And so it is with predictive analytics: most companies do not yet know exactly how to use predictive analytics or how effective it can be. Superhero stories show us a world where the impossible has been made real - and used to make people's lives better. Same thing here: Predictive analysis can solve problems that were previously insurmountable - Superhero style.
Imagine this: Superheroes created for the sole purpose of solving your problems with predictive analytics. The Superheroes have special powers in their belt that are designed to take apart and solve specific business problems, like inventory optimization. And they do it all very efficiently, without a lot of talk or complaining about the burden that has been placed upon them (in the form of complex spreadsheets). They might even crack some jokes along the way. Superhero stories have no limits, so why not bring Superhero-like characters to life that help businesses use predictive analytics effectively? Even if you don't have actual Superheroes helping you solve your problem with predictive analytics, maybe you can just pretend it's Superheroes.
In this Superhero story, we are going to look at a Superhero that is designed specifically for inventory optimization. This Superhero's name is: RSI and he has predictive-analytics powers that can crush the competition! RSI is an analytics superhero who will help you improve your decision making with data analysis - super fast . RSI uses Superhero data analysis techniques like Superpowered Superherding and Superpower Supersummarizing to get the job done. RSI has a very specific set of business skills that are designed specifically for solving inventory optimization problems, so he is a Superhero among Superheroes for your inventory needs.
"I hate inventory problems", you say. "They take up wasted time and money". I know what you mean because I used to hate them too. The concept of inventory makes my muscles tense. Inventory takes up precious warehouse space and it costs a lot to buy all the extra product, stock it properly and manage defective product returns. Plus there is the risk of excess inventory sitting on a shelf in a store that could have been sold instead - ugh.
RSI can Superkick Superpitfalls that are in your Superinventory way, or Superclobber Supercrises before they Superhalt sales. Superpredictive will save the day with his Superdata Superanalysis Superpowers!
Superpowerfully right size your inventory
Once you understand how much inventory you should have at any given moment, you can use data analysis like Superpowered Supersummarizing to ensure that your product ends up in the right place at the right time. If your Superinventory is too low, then there are surely some customers out there who could use it - and if it's too high, then some parts of your business are not doing as well as they could? How difficult would it be to Supermonitor them while Superpredicting Superdemand Superforecasting Superchecking Supersales Superdata Superanalysis Superpowers!
RSI is a value-packed superhero, so he has the power to solve your inventory problems in no time (even if you have millions or even billions of rows). You can send him data and watch as he analyzes it and gives you insight that would be impossible with spreadsheets. Rather than spending time trying to figure out how many units to buy in order to avoid excess inventory, you can spend more time focusing on other things. If you are using Microsoft Excel for your inventory solution right now (or any spreadsheets really), then I'm sure it's not too difficult to imagine some of the Superproblems that could Superhinder you Superperformance Supersales Superdata Superanalysis Superpowers! Put a stop to spreadsheets with RSI!
