MRO360 · Inventory Intelligence
Inventory optimization software for MRO and spare parts.
MRO360 turns your spare parts inventory into optimized, defensible stocking decisions. It reads demand, criticality, and lead time, then recommends the min, max, and safety stock for every part and writes the policy back to your ERP or EAM. Purpose-built MRO inventory management software, not a generic planning tool bent to fit.
Built for oil & gas, energy, utilities, and manufacturing

The problem
What poor MRO inventory decisions actually cost
Spare parts inventory is where reliability and working capital collide. Most teams manage it with static reorder points set years ago, spreadsheets, and gut feel. Four failures repeat across asset-heavy operations.
Cash trapped in SLOB
Slow-moving and obsolete stock sits on the shelf for years, tying up capital and warehouse space no one has reviewed.
Stockouts on critical parts
The one part that matters is missing when a critical asset goes down, and unplanned downtime dwarfs the savings from thin stock.
Reorder points nobody trusts
Min/max levels are copied from the last system, never tied to demand, lead time, or criticality, and never recalculated.
Dirty item master
Duplicates, missing UNSPSC codes, and inconsistent descriptions make every inventory decision a guess on bad data.
What Changes When Inventory Intelligence Works
- Prevent production downtime from critical part stockouts
- Reduce excess inventory and carrying costs on dormant stock
- Improve maintenance readiness with confirmed parts availability
- Enable transparent, audit-ready inventory decisions
Capabilities
The intelligence layer on top of your spare parts inventory
MRO360 sits over your existing ERP or EAM and does the analysis your planners do not have time for, on every part, every cycle. This is what makes it inventory optimization software rather than another place to store numbers.
Demand and criticality segmentation
Every part scored on ABC/XYZ and asset criticality, so stocking policy follows risk instead of averages.
Optimized stocking policies
Min, max, reorder point, and safety stock calculated per part from demand variability and lead time, not copied forward.
SLOB identification and disposition
Surface slow-moving and obsolete stock with a recommended action: hold, redeploy, return, or write off.
Service level by criticality
Set fill-rate targets by criticality class so cash goes to the parts that protect uptime, and nowhere else.
ERP and EAM write-back
Approved policies flow straight back into SAP, Maximo, or your ERP. No re-keying, no parallel spreadsheet.
Continuous re-optimization
Policies are not a one-time project. MRO360 re-runs as demand, lead times, and criticality change.
| Part | Class | Current min/max | Optimized | Fill rate | Capital impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRG-6208-2RS | A | 40 / 120 | 12 / 34 | 98% | −$38.4k |
| SEAL-VITON-88 | B | 10 / 25 | 6 / 18 | 95% | −$6.1k |
| MTR-55KW-IE3 | A | 1 / 2 | 2 / 3 | 99% | +$21.0k |
| GSKT-SPWD-4IN | C | 60 / 200 | 30 / 90 | 92% | −$3.7k |
| VLV-BALL-2IN-SS | B | 8 / 20 | 5 / 14 | 96% | −$9.8k |

How it works
From connected data to a policy your ERP acts on
Connect
Pull item master, transactions, and open orders from SAP, Maximo, or your ERP and EAM. No rip and replace.
Build the golden record
Deduplicate, classify to UNSPSC, and enrich descriptions so every part is analyzed on clean data.
Optimize
Calculate min, max, reorder point, and safety stock per part against demand, lead time, and criticality targets.
Approve and write back
Planners review recommendations, approve in bulk or by exception, and MRO360 writes the policy back to the system of record.
What Each Team Gains
Inventory Intelligence does not add work. It removes the kind that should never have existed in the first place: manual list scanning, reactive emergency orders, and write-offs that arrive as surprises.
Inventory Managers
Start each day with a prioritised action list where items needing attention are already identified and ranked.
Reliability and Maintenance Engineers
Maintenance windows run as planned, with Tier 1 parts confirmed available or alternates already identified.
Procurement Teams
Fewer emergency orders as cross-plant visibility shifts spend from reactive buying to planned procurement.

Segmentation intelligence
Every part sorted by risk and demand, not gut feel
Generic inventory optimization software treats a bearing and a critical pump seal the same way. MRO360 does not. It maps every part on demand pattern (ABC/XYZ) and asset criticality, then sets a distinct stocking rule for each cell of the grid.
- High criticality, erratic demand: protect with safety stock, accept the carrying cost.
- Low criticality, steady demand: lean min/max, order to consumption.
- Low criticality, dead demand: flag as SLOB and route to disposition.

Why MRO360, not generic inventory optimization software
Built for MRO, not finished goods
Intermittent, lumpy spare-parts demand breaks standard forecasting. MRO360 is designed for it.
Criticality-aware by default
Policies weigh the cost of a stockout on a critical asset, not just carrying cost.
Clean data first
Deduplication and UNSPSC classification are built in, so optimization runs on a golden record.
Writes back to the system of record
Recommendations become live policies in SAP or Maximo, not a report that gets ignored.
FAQ
Common questions about MRO inventory optimization
What is MRO inventory management software?
MRO inventory management software manages the maintenance, repair, and operations spare parts that keep equipment running. The strongest tools go beyond tracking quantities: they optimize how much of each part to hold, based on demand, lead time, and how critical the asset is. MRO360 sits in this optimization category.
How is inventory optimization software different from our ERP?
Your ERP records what you have and what you have consumed. It does not decide what you should hold. Inventory optimization software adds that decision layer: it calculates the right min, max, reorder point, and safety stock per part, then writes those policies back into the ERP so the system of record stays authoritative.
Does MRO360 replace our spare parts inventory management system?
No. MRO360 works on top of SAP, Maximo, or whatever you run today. It connects to your existing data, optimizes stocking policies, and writes recommendations back. There is no rip and replace.
How does it handle intermittent, hard-to-forecast spare parts demand?
Spare parts demand is lumpy, and standard forecasting built for finished goods tends to over- or under-stock it. MRO360 segments parts on demand variability (ABC/XYZ) and asset criticality, then applies a stocking method suited to each pattern rather than one formula for everything.
What data does MRO360 need to start?
The item master, transaction history, and open purchase orders from your ERP or EAM. MRO360 cleans and classifies that data into a golden record first, so optimization runs on reliable inputs rather than duplicates and blank fields.
How long before we see results?
Because it reads existing data and does not require replacing a system, most teams move from connected data to a first set of approved policies in weeks. Timelines depend on data quality and the number of stocking locations.
