Operations cascade · with Sage
Catch the shortfall before the stockout.
Out-of-stocks cost brands 4–8% of revenue, and the cause is almost always a signal that arrived after the window closed. Modus runs inventory, production, deployment, and materials from the same live forecast.
SageDallas drops below 10 DOH in W50 — transfer from Chino drafted, FEFO lots selected.
01 · The late signal
Out-of-stocks cost 4–8% of revenue, and the cause is almost never a mystery — it’s a signal that arrived after the production window closed. Demand moved; supply found out in next month’s meeting.
02 · The same number
Supply runs from the identical live forecast sales committed to. A won deal or a new promo recalculates requirements as the plan changes — inventory, deployments, production, materials, all of it.
03 · The head start
Sage watches days-on-hand by DC against that live plan and drafts the fix — a transfer, a production add, a PO — while the window is still open. Otto stages the orders. You choose.
Master plan & pulse
The whole network, at a glance.
Days-on-hand by DC against the live demand plan — including distributor DOH. The stockout five weeks out is a calm Tuesday decision instead of a Friday fire drill.
Deployments & FEFO
The transfer drafts itself — lots picked.
When coverage drops, Sage drafts the deployment with sourcing rules, lanes, and first-expired-first-out lots already selected. Fresh product ships first; every adjustment is audited.
Production & co-manufacturing
Your plant and your co-packer, one schedule.
Full production-order lifecycle for your own lines and your 3PMs — when demand moves, the revised schedule reaches the co-man the same day, not next month.
MRP & PO workbench
From cases to components to POs.
Multi-level BoM nets finished-goods demand into material requirements, and purchase orders draft against blanket contracts with vendor scorecards watching performance.
Kits & repack
Bundles that plan like products.
Variety packs, club repacks, and kitted displays live in the same plan — demand explodes to components, production runs schedule the work, and nothing becomes a phantom SKU.

Every DC, every SKU, days-on-hand against the live demand plan — with drafted deployments, FEFO lots pre-selected, and production adjustments queued the moment coverage drops.
