Our data is located in several different systems. Can the solution handle that?

Yes. Inact is built to work with ERP systems and other relevant data sources.

Does using the solution require significant technical expertise?

No. The solution is designed for buyers and supply chain specialists, not IT experts. We focus on clear visualisations, intuitive workflows, and actionable insights. Our consulting team supports you with setup, training, and ongoing guidance at no additional cost.

How is this different from the reports we can get from our ERP system?

While your ERP system primarily shows what happened, Inact helps you understand why it happened and what to do next. The solution provides visibility into inventory investment, service levels, demand, and product categorisation, so you can prioritise the right products and adjust inventory policies accordingly.

Can we use the solution even if our master data quality is not very high?

Yes. We primarily use master and transactional data from your ERP system and help improve data quality in the areas that create the most value for your business. We rarely encounter data quality issues that prevent us from creating value.

Inventory Optimization: Reduce working capital

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%.

You're measured on working capital, service levels and availability

But it is rarely clear which products tie up capital, create shortages, or reduce service levels.

You know the situation:

Management wants to free up working capital — but no one can point to where.
Sales pushes for higher stock levels to meet customer demand, while finance pushes in the opposite direction.
Critical products are out of stock while slow-moving products fill the shelves.
Excel spreadsheets are growing faster than visibility.
Reorder points and safety stock levels are still based on assumptions made years ago.
You spend more time explaining problems than solving them.

That's why so many companies end up reacting to problems instead of preventing them.

Inventory should be prioritised, not simply maximised

Many companies try to improve inventory performance by increasing or reducing stock levels,
but the size of the inventory is rarely the real problem.

Some products require high availability. Others do not.
Some products drive revenue and strengthen supply performance. Others primarily tie up capital.

That's why effective inventory management is not about having more or less inventory.
It's about having the right inventory in the right places.
