Erdos Technologies CEO Dan Herbatschek Emphasizes the Importance of Software in Helping Companies Make More Intelligent Decisions on Inventory Flow and Management

Tech CEO Dan Herbatschek, the Founder of Erdos Technologies and Ramsey Theory Group, believes finding the right optimization point for supply and inventory management can make or break a company.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneur and technology innovator, Dan Herbatschek, believes as the global supply chain bends in new directions under ever-changing circumstances – finding the right optimization point is key. The CEO of Erdos Technologies, a leader in enterprise software development and digital transformation, believes never has it been more important for companies to be able to access the insights they need to optimize operations.

"Our enterprise customers in Los Angeles and New York play pivotal - but different - roles in the global supply chain, serving as critical gateways for both imports and exports," said Erdos Technologies CEO Dan Herbatschek. "It is critical for them to have a solution for inventory management, like our Erdos Logistics, that can provide accurate tracking for their stores, franchises, distributors, and manufacturers," stated Herbatschek.

Los Angeles is a major port gateway for U.S. imports and there has been a decline in cargo volume, shifts in shipment timing, increased demand for bonded warehouses, and massive increases in risk with additional inventory-holding costs, which sometimes leads to overstocking or understocking. While many of the same forces are in play in New York as seen in Los Angeles, the Port of New York and New Jersey continue to experience more supply disruptions in both manufacturing and agriculture. Erdos Technologies' solution Erdos Logistics can help improve many of these pain points.

FAQ: How Erdos Logistics Can Help Improve Supply Chain     

1. Inventory Forecasting & Demand Planning

• Uses historical sales, seasonality, and lead times to accurately predict inventory needs.
• Prevents overstocking bulky items (which drive up storage costs) or understocking high-demand SKUs (which leads to lost sales).
• Helps align purchase orders with shipping schedules to optimize container utilization.

2. Container Load Optimization

• Software can calculate cube utilization (volume and weight limits) to ensure each container is packed to capacity.
• Automates the selection of the most efficient container sizes (20ft, 40ft, HC, etc.), reducing the number of containers shipped.
• Minimizes wasted space and avoids costly last-minute LCL (less-than-container load) shipments.

3. Drayage & Routing Efficiencies

• Optimizes port-to-warehouse routes by factoring in fuel costs, congestion, and trucking schedules.
• Bundles shipments arriving at the same port to consolidate drayage runs, lowering per-unit transport costs.
• Provides visibility into customs clearance, port storage windows, and delivery appointments to reduce demurrage and detention fees.

4. Real-Time Visibility & Automation

• Tracks shipments in real time, syncing with freight forwarders, customs, and carriers.
• Automates documentation (packing lists, bills of lading, HS codes, compliance forms), saving hours of manual work.
• Generates alerts for delays, port congestion, or container rollovers so managers can adjust inventory planning.

5. Cost Estimation & Profitability Insights

• Simulates different shipping scenarios (full container vs. split shipments) to identify the lowest landed cost per unit.
• Breaks down cost components—container shipping, drayage, customs duties, warehousing—into actionable dashboards.
• Helps procurement teams negotiate better rates with forwarders by providing accurate data on container utilization and costs.

6. Integration Across the Supply Chain

• Connects purchasing, warehouse, ERP, and logistics systems, ensuring that inventory, shipping, and sales teams work from the same data.
• Reduces errors from manual data entry and ensures faster order-to-delivery cycles.
• Supports multi-location and multi-market coordination.
