Know exactly what to order, and free the cash stuck on your shelves.

The problem

Most small businesses reorder by gut feel. Best-sellers run out while slow items keep getting bought, and cash ends up sitting on shelves where nobody is watching it.

What you get

• Reorder list with suggested quantities, based on each supplier's lead time
• Cash tied up in dead and excess stock, item by item
• Stock likely to expire before it sells
• ABC analysis: the few items that drive most of your sales
• A health score and plain-English findings

What you need

• Item code, quantity on hand, unit cost and units sold in the last 12 months
• Optional: last 3 months of sales, lead times, expiry dates, supplier

The problem

When the system says 40 and the shelf holds 25, every reorder decision is wrong. A once-a-year count finds errors too late and shuts the warehouse for a day.

What you get

• A count schedule by ABC class: A items monthly, B quarterly, C yearly
• Daily count sheets sorted by location, with blind counts
• Automatic 'count now' alerts for suspicious items
• Accuracy tracking by class, with the dollar value of differences
• The reasons behind errors: receiving, picking, damage or returns

What you need

• The same stock list as the Inventory Health Check
• Optional: storage locations or bins

The problem

Suppliers quote one lead time and deliver on another. If you plan with the promised number, you run out. Without data, it's hard to push back.

What you get

• Actual average lead time per supplier, compared with what they promise
• On-time and in-full delivery rates
• How much each supplier's lead time varies
• A ranked scorecard you can share with suppliers
• Real lead times fed into your reorder points

What you need

• Purchase order history: supplier, item, order date, promised date, received date
• Quantity ordered and quantity received

The problem

Building orders by hand takes hours each week, and it's easy to miss minimum order quantities, case sizes or the extra units that would earn free freight.

What you get

• Reorder lines grouped into one order per supplier
• Quantities rounded to pack and case sizes
• Minimum order quantity checks
• Suggestions to reach free-freight levels
• An export ready to paste into your system or email

What you need

• Your reorder list from the Inventory Health Check
• Supplier terms: minimums, pack sizes, free-freight levels

The problem

Expired stock is pure write-off, and shelves are often not picked first-expiry-first-out. When a recall notice arrives, tracing a lot can take days.

What you get

• Expiry exposure by item and lot, with dollar value
• Checks on whether stock is picked first-expiry-first-out
• A forecast of write-offs over the next 90 days
• A recall drill: which customers received a given lot
• Actions to move short-dated stock before it expires

What you need

• Lot-level stock: item, lot number, expiry date, quantity
• For recall drills: shipments by lot and customer

The problem

Items are usually stored where there was space when they arrived. Over time, fast movers end up at the back or on top shelves, and picking slows down.

What you get

• Items ranked by how often they're picked
• Current location compared with the best location
• A short list of moves with the biggest payoff
• An estimate of walking time saved

What you need

• Order or pick history: item and quantity per order line
• Current storage location for each item

The problem

Cash leaves when you pay suppliers and returns only when customers pay you. Every extra day of stock or slow payment widens that gap, often without anyone noticing.

What you get

• Days of inventory, days to get paid and days to pay suppliers
• Your cash conversion cycle in days
• What-if scenarios: cash freed by each improvement
• A simple summary to share with your bank or accountant

What you need

• Totals from your accounts: revenue, cost of goods, inventory, receivables, payables
