What you get

Practical inventory analysis for better stock decisions.

OptimInventory provides product-level inventory analysis services for companies that want to understand where inventory may be excessive, where service-level risk may exist, and how replenishment decisions affect business performance.

The work can start small and expand only if the analysis shows meaningful improvement potential.

Service path

A simple path from first insight to deeper support

OptimInventory services are structured as a practical path. A company can begin with a focused preliminary review, continue with inventory diagnostics, and then move into deeper scenario analysis or periodic analytical support if needed.

This keeps the first step simple, reduces unnecessary commitment, and allows the work to grow only where the data and business case justify it.

First step

Preliminary inventory review

A preliminary review is a low-barrier first step. It helps determine whether the available data and current inventory situation justify deeper analysis.

This first step can focus on a selected product group, a sample of items, or a specific business problem, such as excess stock, low availability, high warehouse pressure, or unclear replenishment parameters.

Purpose

Identify whether there is enough improvement potential to continue with structured inventory diagnostics.

Scope

Start with selected items, product groups, or a specific inventory problem before expanding the analysis.

Outcome

Create a clearer view of whether deeper OptimInventory analysis can deliver practical business value.

Service 1

Inventory Diagnostics

Inventory Diagnostics is a one-time product-level assessment of inventory health, service-level exposure, and improvement potential. It is useful for companies that suspect they hold too much inventory, experience stockouts, or cannot clearly see which items create the greatest operational and financial burden.

Excessive stock

Identify items that may carry more inventory than their demand, value, lead time, or service role can justify.

Service-level exposure

Find items where current stock or replenishment settings may create hidden availability or stockout risk.

Unusual behavior

Highlight products with irregular demand, atypical replenishment behavior, or patterns that deserve separate attention.

Working capital exposure

Show where inventory value may be tied unnecessarily in stock and where management attention may be needed.

Warehouse pressure

Connect stock levels with storage space, handling effort, and operational burden inside the warehouse.

Parameter mismatch

Detect possible mismatches between demand, lead time, service expectations, and current inventory parameters.

Typical deliverable: a clear diagnostic report with key findings, priority items, and recommended areas for action. The report helps managers understand where inventory decisions deserve attention and where deeper scenario analysis may be useful.

Service 2

Inventory Scenario Analysis

Inventory Scenario Analysis compares alternative inventory and replenishment decisions before they are changed in operational systems. It is useful when a company wants to evaluate different service targets, review periods, reorder points, order-up-to levels, lead-time assumptions, or replenishment settings.

Current versus alternative parameters

Compare current settings with alternative inventory scenarios before changes are made in ERP, MRP, WMS, or planning systems.

Service targets and stockout risk

Evaluate inventory levels required for selected service targets and understand related stockout exposure.

Average inventory and working capital

Estimate how different replenishment settings may affect average inventory levels and capital tied in stock.

Order frequency and order size

Compare how review periods, reorder points, and order-up-to levels influence ordering workload and replenishment behavior.

Warehouse and handling implications

Understand how scenario changes may affect storage pressure, handling effort, and operational capacity.

Logistics, cost, and emissions indicators

Where relevant data are available, compare logistics activity, cost indicators, and emissions-related effects.

Typical deliverable: a scenario report that shows the trade-offs between inventory, service level, replenishment behavior, cost, logistics activity, and emissions where relevant. The purpose is to support better decisions before parameters are changed.

Service 3

Ongoing Analytical Support

Ongoing Analytical Support is suitable for companies that want periodic inventory analysis as demand, lead times, suppliers, or operating conditions change.

This is not presented as a full enterprise platform. Periodic analytical support helps planners and managers review inventory decisions with stronger evidence.

Periodic product-level review

Revisit selected items or product groups as demand patterns and operating conditions change.

Updated parameter recommendations

Support periodic review of inventory parameters where the data justify closer attention.

Inventory and service indicators

Monitor selected indicators connected with inventory levels, service performance, and risk exposure.

Scenario comparison updates

Compare current and alternative scenarios as business priorities, suppliers, or service targets change.

Management discussion support

Provide clearer evidence for discussions about cash, service level, warehouse pressure, and replenishment trade-offs.

Follow-up priorities

Identify which items, groups, or decisions should be reviewed again as new demand, supplier, or operating data become available.

Typical deliverable: a recurring analytical summary with updated findings, priority items, and recommended areas for action.

Starting data

What data helps us start

The more complete the data, the more detailed the analysis can be. However, a first discussion does not require perfect data.

Number of active items or SKUs

Historical demand or consumption

Current stock levels

Lead times and replenishment parameters

Service targets or availability expectations

Item values, costs, and known priorities
