Inventory Optimization
Reduce working capital by
15-25% and increase the level of service
Change from reactively putting out fires to proactive, data-based inventory management. By taking control of your supply chain you can release liquidity, avoid sold out stock, and transform your supply chain into a strategic advantage.
Reduce your inventory by 20%
Inventory is the lifeblood of your business and is always up for debate. Sales wants more. Finance wants less. In the middle sits the Supply Chain.
Every decision eventually winds up in the inventory and it can seem impossible to find the right balance between higher service level performance, shorter lead times and lower inventory costs.
Inact specializes in optimizing working capital in SMEs. Our solution and methodology provide fact-based insights, remove emotion from the discussion and gives you the tools to find the right balance between service level performance, lead time and inventory costs. As a result, we will reduce your inventory by 20-35%.
Caught between demands and day-to-day operations where you are constantly putting out fires?
You are responsible for efficiency, capital and service.
But you are stuck between management's demands and daily operations where you are constantly putting out fires.
You may be struggling with:
- Inventory that ties up too much capital while management is pushing to free it?
- Manual processes and endless Excel sheets that steal time from analysis and improvement?
- Having to explain to sales or management why the most important items are out of stock, while the less important ones pile up?
- A sense that the rest of the organization doesn’t quite understand the work behind a well-functioning supply chain?

Frequently Asked Questions about our Inventory Optimization Solution
How quickly can we see results on our capital tied up in inventory?
You will gain new insights within the first few months after the solution goes live.
Most customers experience a measurable reduction within 6–12 months.
The pace depends on how quickly you translate the insights into decisions—and our experts help you every step of the way.
Our data is located in several different systems. Can the solution handle that?
Yes, absolutely.
Our solution is built to communicate with all ERP systems and other data sources.
A central part of our onboarding process is precisely to ensure that we gather the necessary data (sales history, inventory status, supplier lead times, etc.) to create one unified and accurate picture.
Does it require a lot of technical expertise from our side to use the solution?
No.
The solution is designed for buyers and supply chain specialists, not IT experts.
We place great emphasis on visual overview (such as heatmaps and dashboards) and intuitive workflows.
Furthermore, our consultant team is always ready to assist you with setup, training, and ongoing sparring, at no extra cost.
How does this differ from the reports we can pull from our ERP system?
Where your ERP system primarily shows you what has happened (historical data), Inact is designed to show you why it happened and what you should do now.
Our solution adds a layer of intelligence with, for example, advanced ABC segmentation, forecast logic, and service-level simulation, which you typically do not find in a standard ERP system.
Can we use the solution even if our master data quality is not very high?
Yes.
We primarily pull master and transactional data from your ERP system and can help improve the data with a focus on the areas that provide the most value for your business.
We rarely encounter a data quality we cannot work with.
