E/Step Software Inc. is a software development, education, and consulting enterprise assisted by a network of professional firms. We work with manufacturers and distributors who have concerns about their forecast accuracy, inventory, expediting, and/or customer service levels. Our Finished Goods Series (FGS)™ software operates alone or connected to ERP (etc.) systems, providing a demand forecast while optimizing inventory, service, expediting, and user productivity. 

FGS is used in a wide variety of industries—in fact, any business with an inventory to manage. Our clients comprise everything from global enterprises to small and mid-sized businesses, including such companies as GE, Siemens, Chromaflo Technologies, Tree Top, Salt River Project, and a US mainline railroad, among many others.

There is a lot of confusion and even misinformation around forecasting demand and planning inventory, in part because so many companies implement ad hoc but seemingly reasonable approaches to attempt solutions. Many executives and managers are unaware that there is in fact a science to demand forecasting and inventory planning. This science is good news for them because it means they no longer have to rely on guesses or plausible “rules of thumb” with devastating results to their service, inventory, and expediting levels. At E/Step Software we have spent many decades studying and extending this science and then implementing the results in FGS.

Any time we or our clients have run tests comparing FGS with other systems (including ERP/Supply Chain systems that claim these capabilities) we have found that FGS saves 30 to 50% of the inventory while achieving the same or better service and expediting levels. You don’t have to take our word for it. Talk with our clients, many of whom have been using FGS for decades.
