How is Thrive Different?

Thrive Technologies is a unique software company, improving the profitability of distribution inventory for companies who need more advanced inventory management capability than is available in their ERP and industry specific host systems.

Thrive specializes in inventory forecasting and replenishment for distribution inventory.  We are not an ERP software company.  ERP and industry specific packages typically do not provide the depth of inventory functionality required by distributors, retailers, or manufacturers taking on VMI projects.

Thrive's ClearDay Web software facilitates advanced replenishment buyer processes.  Often, companies think they just need better forecasting, but that is only part of the need.  Just as important is the understanding of how the replenishment buyers currently buy distribution inventory, and how those processes can be automated and improved.  These processes include:

  1. ordering the most profitable quantities of each item from each vendor
  2. tracking and forecasting seasonality by item by location
  3. calculating optimal safety stock by item
  4. tracking and forecasting lead times by vendor
  5. optimizing order timing
  6. ordering for kitting components
  7. multiple warehouses and stock transfers
  8. building out trucks and containers
  9. lifting demand for promotions or other events
  10. calculating optimal buying quantities for vendor discounts

Thrive provides a much lower cost of ownership than competitive replenishment offerings.  Designed to be affordable, ClearDay Web is the first advanced replenishment system for distribution inventory to run on an inexpensive PC server.  ClearDay Web's complex calculations take advantage of today's amazing server computing power to constantly analyze each SKU / location for you, insuring optimal safety stock levels and buying quantities.  With ClearDay Web, the question is not whether you can afford it, but how can you afford to give up this advantage to your competitors

The software is designed to connect quickly to client systems, and Thrive bundles integration services with each solution to minimize taxing client technical resources.  ClearDay Web is web based, requiring only a browser for users, and minimizing training requirements. 

Thrive has strong domain expertise in replenishment buying.   ClearDay Web was designed by former buyers of retail and distribution inventory, and Thrive consultants have years of experience helping companies improve their replenishment buying.  Offering services such as best practices, user training, process change management - our skilled consultants have been through this process many times.  Our structured implementations are designed to get even the least technically savvy companies to significantly improve their replenishment processes.
