Sanchay

sanchay - accumulation, what is gathered and held

Forecast demand, size inventory, and reorder before the shelf empties or the batch expires.

Sanchay is a demand and inventory accelerator for distribution-heavy supply chains, built first for pharmaceutical distribution. It combines SKU-level demand forecasting, scenario planning across bull, base, and bear cases, and accuracy tracking with real-time inventory health, batch expiry tracking, and multi-location stock views. Procurement teams manage purchase orders, suppliers, and reorder recommendations, while an alert centre flags stockouts, overdue orders, and expiring batches before they become write-offs.

Workflow

Problem

Distributors forecast in spreadsheets and hold safety stock by habit, so capital sits in slow inventory while fast-moving SKUs stock out and batches quietly expire.

Outcome

SKU-level forecasting, live inventory health, and reorder recommendations that balance service level against working capital.

  1. 01

    Forecast the demand

    Per-SKU demand is projected and the accuracy of each forecast is tracked, so the model earns trust or loses it.

  2. 02

    Model the range

    Bull, base, and bear scenarios are held alongside the base plan rather than argued about separately.

  3. 03

    Watch the stock

    Inventory position, batch expiry, and location coverage are monitored continuously.

  4. 04

    Recommend the order

    Reorder points and purchase recommendations are produced against forecast, lead time, and shelf life.

Modules

  • SKU Demand Forecasting

    Per-SKU forecasts with accuracy tracked over time rather than assumed.

  • Scenario Planning

    Bull, base, and bear cases modelled so a plan has a range, not a single number.

  • Inventory Health

    Stock position, batch expiry, and multi-location visibility in one view.

  • Reorder Intelligence

    Purchase order, supplier, and reorder recommendations driven by forecast and lead time.

Pending evidence attachment

This entry represents an enterprise architectural reference pattern. Customer benchmarks, run replays, and metric verifications are established during technical discovery.

Limitations

  • Headline metrics are representative until a customer result is attached.

Representative metrics · Reference · scenario only

  • Per SKU
