(Supply Planning · 03)

Fast-growing brands need greater visibility and control over inventory.

Too little stock creates lost sales and disappointed customers.

Too much stock ties up working capital and increases warehousing and inventory risk. We manage the operational side of supply planning, working alongside the brand’s demand planning and management teams to translate expected requirements into day-to-day stock and replenishment activity.

What this covers

01
Stock Management
Effective stock management becomes increasingly important as a brand grows across more products, customers and sales channels. We maintain operational visibility over available inventory, incoming stock, stock movement and quantities held across relevant locations. By connecting inventory information with warehousing, fulfillment, procurement and sales activity, we provide management with a clearer picture of the stock supporting the business.
02
Availability
Product availability directly affects the brand’s ability to convert demand into sales. We monitor stock positions and operational requirements to identify products that may be approaching low availability. This allows replenishment requirements and potential shortages to be identified earlier and communicated to the relevant decision-makers.
03
Replenishment
We establish and manage operational replenishment processes based on agreed planning inputs, current stock, incoming inventory and business requirements. Our role is to help translate demand and management decisions into the operational actions required to maintain appropriate inventory availability.
04
Inventory Monitoring
Inventory is monitored across relevant locations and stages of the operation to create greater visibility over available, incoming and moving stock. This information can be consolidated through reports and operational systems, reducing reliance on fragmented spreadsheets and disconnected information.
05
Stock Optimization
Inventory needs to balance customer availability with the cost and risk of carrying stock. We work with management to improve this balance by reviewing stock positions, movement, replenishment activity and operational requirements. The objective is to maintain appropriate availability while reducing unnecessary inventory and operational inefficiency.
06
Inventory Reporting
Stock, availability and replenishment information can be consolidated into agreed reports and dashboards, giving management access to the information required for better planning and decision-making.
