OPERATIONS
Stop stock-outs, excess stock and rushed purchasing
Too little stock loses sales and too much stock locks up cash. Purchases made in a hurry cost more, and vendors who are never compared drift upward in price. For many SMEs the buying and stocking rules exist only in the purchase manager head.
We design the process around your items, suppliers and cash cycle. That means classifying what you stock, setting reorder points, defining who can approve a purchase, and creating simple stock checks so physical stock and records stay close.
