Skumatics goDash is the data mining tool that---among other things---optimizes par levels and provides rapid access to all different prices being paid within the entire system for identical SKUs regardless of the source of the product. It also sorts products by UNSPSC to promote consolidation of utilization within a category. Your data is presented in our proprietary dashboard that includes savings opportunities through inventory reduction and spend management.
