CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Herlitz
Inventory Management, leading innovator in scientific demand
forecasting, replenishment, and optimization, announced Pet Food
Experts has selected HIMPACT as its new purchasing system. After a
rigorous research and selection process, Pet Foods Experts
determined the best solution for their purchasing and forecasting
needs was HIMPACT.
"Our team has the highest regard for the buying and IT teams at
Pet Food Experts," stated Carl
Herlitz, President & CEO of Herlitz Inventory
Management. "With HIMPACT fully in place, Pet Food Experts will be
able to streamline their trade show ordering, virtual or otherwise,
while simultaneously optimizing their replenishment inventory. This
will improve both profit margins and daily efficiency for
buyers."
Pet Food Experts was actively looking for a new forecasting and
purchasing solution. During that search it received a referral from
a current Herlitz Inventory Management client who shared the value
of HIMPACT. Therefore, in early 2020, Pet Food Experts included
Herlitz Inventory Management in its search and selection process.
After narrowing it down to three vendors, HIMPACT rose to the top
as the solution with the best overall ROI, features, and
benefits.
Brian Wyrostek, Pet Food Experts
Director of Inventory Management said, "We carefully evaluated
various aspects of multiple solutions and HIMPACT was ultimately
selected. We took a long time before deciding between these
forecasting and purchasing solutions because of the impact it would
have on our operations and bottom line. We are confident HIMPACT is
the best choice."
"Similar to many of our grocery customers, Pet Food Experts
drives significant demand via promotions and through their biannual
trade shows," added Herlitz. "HIMPACT's tools for managing these
events with ease appealed to the buying team."
Pet Food Experts Purchasing Manager Phylicia Proulx commented, "My team and I are
really looking forward to using HIMPACT. We know this will simplify
our buying process and remove the tedious tasks that previously
bogged us down. Just in our first week of training, we saw how
intuitive and user friendly the interface is. We now have all of
the important data points to make decisions quickly is in one
place. We look forward to seeing improvements to the entire supply
chain, ultimately helping our Vendor partners plan more effectively
while continuing to improve service levels for our customers &
end consumers."

of his home, specializing in selling live fish. Over the next 80
years, the business evolved into a chain of independently owned pet
stores and grew into a distributor of pet products from coast to
coast.
