Overview

Logility’s MEIO (Multi‑Echelon Inventory Optimization) solution leverages AI‑driven prescriptive analytics to streamline and unify inventory management across multiple stages—raw materials, work‑in‑process, and finished goods. It ensures optimal stock levels throughout complex supply chains by modeling interdependencies among sites, demand variability, lead times, and cost dynamics. This enables companies to reduce total inventory, free up working capital, and boost service performance across networks. With intelligent automation, MEIO replaces one‑size‑fits‑all policies with tailored, time‑phased safety stocks, exception alerts, and scenario modeling, empowering businesses to proactively address disruptions and optimize fulfillment.
