We do one thing, and we do it really well.
We think inventory re-order levels are really important.
That’s why we’ve spent the last decade focused on getting them just right for all kinds of supply-chain driven businesses across the UK and Europe.
Using existing data from your business operations, we can help your team ‘reset’ their inventory, giving you peace of mind that the foundation of your business is running smoothly, and that every subsequent inventory decision is built on a solid footing.
If you’re tired of the constant manual updates, one-size-fits-all solutions, or struggling to find the expertise to optimise your inventory at the level your business demands, we’re here to help.
Fine-tune your inventory to maximise KPIs.
Our smart simulation approach provides you with a clear picture of the trade-offs and costs (both in terms of cash and capacity) associated with achieving different service and availability levels.
This insight allows you to fine-tune your inventory, adjusting service levels for different categories to uncover new opportunities.
By balancing customer expectations with your other business objectives, our service-first approach ensures you continue to deliver on your commitments while achieving the results you need.
Outsource your stock levels stress to us.
How it works.
1. Workshop
every business will have important differentiators that will want to be captured and will be critical to avoiding false inventory levels.
2. Configure Model
We build a bespoke model of your inventory, based on our workshop findings and discussions.
3. Run Simulation
We run tens-of-thousands of clever simulations, using your historical data to better predict your future need.
4. Review Outputs
A supply chain data analyst reviews the output to ensure quality and human oversight. (this is very important).
5. Define Strategy
We work with your supply chain/ inventory team to define a new strategy and update your current target inventory levels.
6. Repeat on cycle
We re-run this process at set intervals to ensure you are always getting the most out of your inventory.
A one stop outsourced service.
Once we understand the unique characteristics of your supply chain, we’ve designed our process to allow inventory to be refreshed quickly and painlessly, as often as you require.
Not to mention the insights that can be uncovered. We can tell you where inventory targets have deviated most from optimal levels, and also shows where supply chain performance (manufacturing reliability / forecast accuracy) is resulting in disproportionately high levels of stock.
With us handling your inventory management, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that this critical aspect of your business is in capable hands, allowing you to dedicate more time to strategic initiatives, customer engagement, and daily operations.

It doesn’t have to be guess work.
In many businesses, inventory levels were once ‘right’, but invariably get tweaked and altered with the passing of time.
The good news is that the historical data needed to achieve this exists, it just needs to be interpreted in the right way. We combine the precision of advanced smart inventory modeling with the strategic insights of seasoned supply chain analysts.
We work with you to recalculate your levels, restoring the stability and confidence you once had in your numbers.
