Challenges Faced by the Client
Despite strong business growth, the client struggled with several inventory-related issues:
Ending Fast-Product Stockouts
High-demand items were often out of stock due to manual planning and lack of forecasting, leading to missed sales opportunities and delayed deliveries.
Overstock & Blocked Capital
Slow-moving products were over-purchased, resulting in: Excess inventory sitting in warehouses Increased storage costs Blocked working capital
Demand Variability
Customer demand was not consistent: Some products were fast-moving Others were seasonal or slow-moving This made inventory planning more complex and less predictable.
No Data-Driven Planning
Inventory decisions were based on: Excel sheets Guesswork Past experience There was no automated system to analyze demand trends or suggest optimal stock levels.
Fixing Warehouse Coordination
Stock was unevenly distributed: Some warehouses had excess stock Others faced shortages No intelligent system existed to balance stock across locations.
Inefficient Procurement Process
Purchase orders were created manually No consideration of lead time, safety stock, or order cycles Frequent urgent purchases at higher costs
