Three ways to look more closely at your stock

Each service addresses a different question — how much to hold, when to reorder, and which lines are worth their space.

An introduction to what's available

The three services below can be taken individually or in sequence, depending on where your questions currently sit. Some retailers start with an assortment review to decide what belongs on the shelf before setting up forecasting; others come to us already knowing which line of work they need. Either is fine — the descriptions below should help you see which fits.

How to choose

If you're unsure how much to order

Demand Forecasting Setup is usually the right starting point.

If stockouts or excess feel frequent

Reorder Point Review looks directly at where thresholds may be off.

If you're planning a season change

Assortment Analysis helps decide what to keep, add, or retire.

If none of these feels like a clean fit, a short message describing your situation is enough for us to suggest a starting point.

What every service includes

A defined scope and timeline agreed before work starts.

Output delivered in a format your team can use directly.

A written note on assumptions and where confidence is lower.

On the investment

Prices above are fixed for the stated scope, with no additional charges introduced partway through. If your range is larger or the timeline needs adjusting, we can discuss a revised scope before anything begins.

A few questions people ask before starting

Do I need special software already in place?

No. Output is typically delivered as a spreadsheet compatible with what most retailers already use.

What data do you need from me?

Sales history and current stock levels for the relevant range, in whatever format you currently keep them.

Can I combine more than one service?

Yes, many retailers do — an assortment review followed by a forecasting setup is a common sequence.
