[New!] Introducing SKU-specific lead times
Today we’re introducing a new feature to make your recommended purchase orders even better: the ability to specify order lead times by SKU.
Being more specific about how long it’ll take to receive each SKU empowers you to proactively get ahead of your inventory needs, improving your operations overall.
This feature is live and available for you to use now within Cogsy.
Setting lead times by SKU
This new feature equips your team to assign a different lead time to each of your SKUs to get the most accurate indication of when to place purchase orders.
When a SKU doesn’t have a specific lead time set, the SKU will inherit the lead time set at the vendor level, or the average lead time. It’s up to you how specific you want to get with your lead times: at the SKU, vendor or global level.
Below, you can see what it looks like to add a lead time for an individual SKU that will then override the vendor lead time and average global lead time.
Once a SKU’s lead time is assigned, all replenishment calculations are automatically updated to reflect this new SKU-specific value.
Some users, though, have added integrations for apps (like Locate, Skubana or Anvyl). In these cases, lead times set in an external source will be respected and never overridden by Cogsy.
More coming soon!
We’re excited to continue building tools that empower your brand to operate proactively by turning your operational data into smarter actions.
Stay tuned for more feature announcements and new integrations shortly.
