Replenishment
Keep Stock Aligned With Demand as It Changes
Stock replenishment works best when stock levels adjust with demand. ActivePlanning uses current demand, lead times, and inventory data to keep each location supplied with what it is likely to sell.
Calculate
Reorders Itself Before the Shelf Empties
ActivePlanning calculates reorder points and safety stock levels from current demand and supplier lead time, then triggers purchase orders as stock reaches the appropriate threshold.
Commit
Weighs the Cost Before It Commits to It
Each replenishment decision accounts for service levels, carrying costs, and working capital. An inventory planner can see the financial trade-offs behind a recommended order before they commit.
Redistribute
Moves Excess Inventory Into the Next Order Cycle
ActivePlanning can redistribute excess inventory between locations as demand shifts, using stock transfers to bring inventory back into balance across the network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Inventory replenishment software determines when to reorder, how much to buy, and where inventory should come from. It uses reorder points, safety stock, supplier lead time, and current stock levels to keep inventory aligned with forecast demand. Manhattan’s replenishment works from the same plan as demand forecasting and allocation.
ActivePlanning uses forecast demand, lead times, safety stock, and current inventory data to keep replenishment aligned with what each location is expected to sell. That can help prevent stockouts and reduce overstocking as conditions change.
Replenishment decides when and how much new inventory to order; allocation decides which store or channel an existing unit should go to. ActivePlanning unifies both, so a replenishment order and the allocation decision that follows it work from the same number.
No. Both are part of demand planning, but they do different jobs. Demand forecasting produces the sales forecasts. Replenishment decides when and how much to reorder based on that forecast, plus supplier lead time and current stock levels. It reads directly from the same AI-driven forecasting engine, then turns the forecast into an order.
Replenishment decides what to order and when. A WMS handles receiving, put-away, and picking once the order arrives. Because ActivePlanning builds orders to supplier pack sizes and units of measure, what arrives fits the way the WMS receives it.
Netstock is built for fast, ERP-integrated reorder automation at mid-market wholesalers and manufacturers. Manhattan’s replenishment covers that same reorder automation and extends into multi-echelon optimization across large, complex distribution networks.
RELEX is built primarily for high-frequency replenishment in grocery and perishable retail. Manhattan's replenishment serves wholesale, health and life sciences, and retail networks, and is built into one unified solution with allocation and demand forecasting.
