What our customers say

"Everyone was saying that [Unleashed] was intuitive and easy to learn and not too complex, but I think the main thing is that it really filled a middle ground for us, and it really tailored to our needs."

– Matt Oliver, Head of Operations

"What [Unleashed] does assist us with, is knowing how efficient we are in making them with the stock control, [we can see] how much goes into the bill of materials, against how much is used in assemblies."

– Luke Bream, CEO

"Since moving to the Unleashed system, everything is now recorded, reportable, downloadable and exportable."

– Mark Weisner, Logistics & Operations Manager

“I’ve used other inventory management systems in the past. They work fine, but they’re just real clunky. I found reporting was never really what I needed from it. You’re always kind of fighting the system just to get what you need out of that. But I don’t have that with Unleashed.”

– Sam Kenny, Operations Manager

"The things I like most about Unleashed is that it's grown with our business. As we've grown and got multiple manufacturing sites and different staff members in different locations, doing different things, it's been malleable enough to handle all of that."

– Jack Tarrant, Managing Director

Advanced Inventory Manager FAQs

Questions we get asked most about our Advanced Inventory Manager

What is Advanced Inventory Manager (AIM)?

AIM is a smart inventory management module that helps you maintain optimal inventory levels while navigating demand fluctuations and unpredictable lead times. It uses your latest data and risk assessments to prevent stockouts, eliminate overstock, and improve profitability across your entire product portfolio.

What's the difference between Modelling and Forecasting in AIM?

Modelling is ideal for quickly setting up inventory management across many products with stable demand. It establishes min/max inventory levels based on historical averages and works with the Reorder Report to trigger replenishments.

Forecasting offers product-by-product control for your most important products. It allows you to set future demand expectations (perfect for new products), adapts to seasonal patterns, and provides detailed replenishment schedules. Forecasting is particularly valuable for variable demand, product launches, and end-of-life products.

Can AIM help with new products that have no sales history?

Yes, it can. Unlike traditional inventory methods that rely on historical data, Unleashed AIM Forecasting allows you to set future demand expectations for new products. You can plan replenishments and manage inventory from day one, even without any transaction history.

How does AIM help reduce stockouts?

Unleashed AIM calculates stockout risks by analysing your open transactions and their expected dates. The system alerts you when products are likely to run out and how many days away the stockout will occur, giving you time to replenish stock or adjust transaction dates before you lose sales.

Does AIM work for manufacturers?

Yes, it does. AIM Production Planning automatically calculates component demand throughout your manufacturing process. When you plan replenishments for assembled products, Unleashed's AIM populates the demand for linked components with the exact quantity and timing needed—saving hours of manual planning work.

How does AIM improve cash flow?

AIM identifies overstocked and understocked lines automatically, helping you eliminate excess inventory that ties up working capital. By finding the optimal balance between service levels and inventory investment, you can free up cash whilst still meeting customer demand.

Can I export replenishment plans from AIM?

Yes, you can export forecast replenishment schedules as spreadsheets to create detailed purchasing plans. The Modelling page within Unleashed can also be exported as a report. These exports help you action AIM's recommendations in your procurement processes.

What subscription level do I need to access AIM?

AIM is available on both Unleashed Core and Unleashed Pro bundles. See our pricing page for more information.
