PRODUCT OVERVIEW

“Our objective was to be able to monitor the health of our most critical servers containing data and applications, but also the flows and bandwidth between headquarters, our 50 servers in the cloud and the 15 servers at our production sites. For us, it is essential to have a proactive approach to understand where the weaknesses of the IT system are to be able to improve them.”

Marc Boullier, CIO
Carambar & Co

“From a server perspective, we're monitoring all of the key components of our service such as CPU usage, RAM disk space, the Windows services that it's running, and network connectivity of that server. In terms of networks, we’re monitoring all of our switches, firewalls, and access points. It’s really useful to be able to easily pull performance metrics from the PRTG dashboard.”

Ollie Kerslake, Infrastructure Lead
Riverford Organic Farmers

“The tool has given us greater control over all types of devices connected to the network (switches, IP telephony, security cameras, IoT, WiFi) that previously remained opaque when dealing with service incidents. This has improved our ability to diagnose and resolve problems, which has translated into greater efficiency and a better user experience in both internal and public services.”

Inventory Management Monitoring: FAQ

 

What is inventory management?

Inventory management is an element of logistics. It involves managing your company’s flow of goods, and maintaining an overview of its merchandise and materials – in other words, its inventory. A critical part of the supply chain, inventory management also plays an important role in relation to customers. In particular, its goals include reducing stockpiles, optimizing services, and increasing customer satisfaction.

What does an inventory manager do?

Inventory managers are responsible for managing the inventory of a company by keeping an eye on current stock levels, when and which products need to be reordered, quantities that need to be reordered, and where products are stored.

To optimize their inventory, inventory managers are faced with three main tasks:

  1. Demand planning: Inventory managers predict the demand for products in order to prepare a company for orders and keep customers happy.
  2. Inventory planning: Inventory managers determine the optimal number of products to be ordered, as well as the best time to order them.
  3. Procurement planning: Here, the goal is to determine the best way to fulfill inventory, demand, and procurement requirements to meet the objectives of the company.
Why is inventory management important?

Large inventories are often associated with substantial amounts of capital. These stockpiles result in higher costs, lower liquidity, and an increased risk of theft or damage. Small inventories, on the other hand, can lead to shortages and unhappy customers. Inventory management is therefore crucial to supply chains. In particular, it helps with having maximum control of the flow of goods, reducing inventory costs, and resulting in optimal profitability thanks to accurate planning.

What are the advantages of inventory management software?

By managing your inventory with asset management software, you’ll be able to skip several time-consuming steps that are often prone to errors, for example the manual completion of Excel spreadsheets, or manually counting stock and placing orders.

When combined with a monitoring tool like Paessler PRTG, inventory management software helps to optimize your inventory management. It replaces error-prone methods such as one-step calculations and rules of thumb. This in turn reduces costs and increases customer satisfaction. Inventory management software performs calculations and automatically keeps track of all the important workflows involved in inventory management, for example tracking purchase orders, end-to-end processes, inventory tracking, storage, demand planning and analysis, reporting, and much more.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.

We asked: would you recommend PRTG? Over 95% of our customers say yes!

Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
