Inventory Optimization Consultant
Overview
An inventory optimization consultant for brands where stock is either running out or piling up, and often both at once. Too little of what sells, too much of what does not, and cash stuck on shelves instead of funding growth.
We fix the planning that causes it: forecasts you can trust, weeks-of-cover targets that hold, and replenishment that triggers before you stock out rather than after. Demand planning, inventory strategy, and the systems underneath, set up so the numbers make the decision, not a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
Same operator, focused on the single biggest source of trapped cash in most DTC brands. And if the free call says the problem is elsewhere, we will tell you that too.
Process
Define
01
A direct conversation about the stock problem. Where you run out, where you overbuy, what it is costing in lost sales and dead inventory, and what good would look like. We scope around that.
Assess
02
We review your actual inventory: SKU-level sell-through, current cover, forecast accuracy, lead times, and the buying process behind them. An honest picture of where the cash is trapped, not a diplomatic one.
Advise
03
A clear plan for what to change and in what order: forecast method, cover targets, replenishment triggers, and the SKUs to cut or back. Where relevant, a written output your team can act on independently.
Support
04
We stay available to implement, from setting up the planning process to selecting the inventory system, or step in hands-on where the fix needs an operator rather than advice.
