Inventory Should Be a Competitive Lever
Effective inventory management reduces holding costs, improves cash flow, and ensures timely delivery of products. We help businesses right size inventory across the network by aligning policies, processes, and systems with service goals and financial targets.
Optimize Operations with Smarter Inventory Management Strategies
Inventory Diagnostic
Our comprehensive inventory audit evaluates SKU levels, aging, turnover, and service-levels, identifying where inventory is tying up cash or falling short of service commitments.
Inventory Policy Design & System Parameter Setting
We design or refine inventory strategies - including safety stock, reorder points, and service level targets - to balance availability and cost. We also calibrate your ERP or WMS planning parameters to ensure your systems perform to those strategies accurately and consistently.
Forecasting & Demand Planning
We enhance forecast accuracy and accountability using analytics-driven S&OP processes, governance structures, and performance benchmarking, helping you avoid stockouts and excess stock.
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)
We assess the fit and potential benefits of a VMI program for your key commodities, helping shift ownership closer to the point of use and reduce operational burden from complex or slow-moving inventory.
