With all this information available, each distributor can complete the integration of the supply chain information flow and, for example, calculate an available to promise (ATP) date (the date by which the company knows that it can commit delivery, given all the constraints in its sourcing, production and distribution operations) for its customers.

The main benefits of the supply chain planning system have been a reduction in inventory and increases in service levels and fill rates. Historically, each small company tried to minimise inventory locally, with consequently low fill rates and a high cost of excess inventory because of the lack of risk pooling. Now the process is collaborative, and the company’s supply chain meets the challenging standards set by its customers, such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, Wal-Mart, Cabela’s and Bass Pro.
