Fresher Without Overstocking
The margin leak nobody’s tracking
Shelf life is a critical cost driver for many companies, yet it’s often invisible, the impact never even shows up as its own line in standard corporate financial statements.
What if you could simulate your entire supply chain and see exactly how batch size, inventory policy, and transportation mode are quietly eating into shelf life, before the waste and markdowns show up in the numbers?
Sophus simulates the end-to-end supply chain to track shelf-life performance, then recommends the batch size, inventory, and transportation changes that protect freshness while maintaining or reducing cost.
The Problem
Why shelf life stays invisible until it’s expensive
It's critical, but nobody's watching it
Mismanagement shows up as waste and lost margin
A simulation loop
Sophus runs this as a continuous loop, not a report you build once and shelve.
01 / Track
See current performance
Simulate the end-to-end supply chain to track and understand current product shelf-life performance.
02 / Test
Run the what-ifs
Conduct simulations to determine the effect of changing production batch size, inventory policies, and other factors on shelf life.
03 / Analyze
See the real impact
Analyze the impact of shelf life on sales, cost, and inventory levels across the network.
04 / Recommend
Get a policy, not just a report
Recommend new policies, like changes to batch size, inventory allocation, or transportation mode, that improve shelf life while maintaining or reducing cost.
How It Actually Works
One Simulation. Two Tools.
Dastro keeps the simulation fed with current production, inventory, and transportation data, pulled and cleaned automatically instead of assembled by hand. Sophus X runs the actual simulation on top of it, testing batch size, inventory policy, and mode of transportation together, then recommending the combination that protects shelf life without raising cost.
Dastro
Data layer
Production, inventory, and transportation data pulled and cleaned automatically — the simulation stays current without hand assembly.
Sophus X
Simulation layer
Tests batch size, inventory policy, and mode of transportation together, then recommends the combination that protects shelf life without raising cost.
