Inventory Planning Service for Retail and CPG Brands

Our Inventory Planning Service aligns your demand forecasts with your supply, so you hold the right stock, in the right place, at the right time. Done well, it cuts stockouts and excess inventory at the same time, because both usually happen together, with the wrong products sitting in the wrong stores while the right ones sell out elsewhere.

Why stockouts and overstock happen together

Stockouts and overstock are two symptoms of the same problem: inventory placed on national averages instead of real, local demand. One store runs dry on your hero product while another sits on stock nobody wants.

The result is lost sales on one shelf and clearance write-offs on another, often in the same week. Store-level planning fixes both at once by matching stock to where demand actually is.

What our Inventory Planning Service includes

Our Inventory Planning Service delivers demand-aligned stock targets by location, replenishment signals, out-of-stock monitoring, and clear visibility into where inventory risk is building before it becomes a lost sale. We connect your forecast, sales, and supply data so the plan reflects real demand, not last year's guess.

Guidance from the Association for Supply Chain Management confirms that disciplined inventory planning is one of the strongest levers a brand has to protect both service levels and cash.

Inventory planning in the 2026 retail reality

AI forecasting is now accurate down to the SKU and store, which makes execution the real battleground. When you can predict demand that precisely, the value comes from acting on it fast.

Analysis from Gartner shows demand volatility and channel complexity remain top pressures on supply chain leaders through 2026. Our Inventory Planning Service is built to redistribute stock in near real time, not once a quarter.

Who our Inventory Planning Service is for

Our Inventory Planning Service supports FMCG and CPG, retail, e-commerce, and consumer electronics brands managing inventory across multiple accounts and channels in the US and UK.

Founded by former SharkNinja analysts who scaled a brand from 2.2 billion to 4 billion dollars in three and a half years, we bring that discipline to your stock decisions through a plug and play model with analysts in your time zone. One brand in this space cut excess inventory by 34 percent while nearly eliminating stockouts on key products.

How our Inventory Planning Service works

Our Inventory Planning Service starts by connecting your forecast, sales, and supply data into one view, then setting demand-aligned stock targets for every location. We flag out-of-stock risk before it costs a sale and highlight slow movers before they turn into markdowns. Because the model is already built, you see results in days rather than the months an in-house team would need.

You get replenishment signals, clear inventory-risk visibility, and a regular cadence of reviews with an analyst aligned to your time zone. When demand shifts, we help you rebalance stock across stores and channels quickly, so capital is not trapped in the wrong place while another shelf sells out.

The approach scales as you add SKUs, accounts, and channels, without adding overhead or a system your team has to run. For fast-moving categories where a day of stockout is a day of lost revenue, that speed is the difference between protecting sales and explaining a miss to your CFO.
