You Have Too Much of What Doesn't Sell and Never Enough of What Does.
Stockouts? Cash Pressure? Forecast Chaos?
There is a Better Way.
Your Inventory Shouldn't Be a Guessing Game.
But right now, inventory feels unpredictable. You're drowning in spreadsheets and watching cash get trapped in product that isn't moving, while your best sellers keep going out of stock.
We will fix that.
Our inventory management consultants forecast demand by channel and build SKU-level planning systems that tell you exactly what to buy, how much, and when and your cash flow impact.

Growth Shouldn't Break Your Supply Chain
These problems aren't hypotheticals.
They're the daily reality for brands that have outgrown their inventory systems but haven't replaced them yet.
ALWAYS OUT OF BEST SELLERS
Your top 20% of SKUs drive 80% of revenue, and they're the ones that keep stocking out. Every out of stock is revenue you'll never get back and a lost customer
FORECASTS ARE BASICALLY FICTION
You're ordering based on last year's numbers, gut feel, or "what feels right." But your DTC channel behaves nothing like your B2B or Amazon channel, BUT your spreadsheet treats them the same.
LOTS OF STUFF THAT WON'T MOVE
Meanwhile, slow-moving and dead SKUs are eating warehouse space, tying up cash, and slowly depreciating. You know you should discontinue, but you don't have the data to decide which ones.
REVENUE BUT NO CASH
The P&L looks fine but the bank account tells a different story. Excess inventory is the silent cash killer, it doesn't show up as a "loss" but it's strangling your ability to invest in growth, marketing, and new product development.
If any of these inventory problems resonate, you have a systems problem. And it's SOLVABLE.

I was spending multiple hours a day talking to my CMO, doing inventory, and ingredients reconciliation. OpsAlly gave me that time back in the first week. I didn't realize how much I was the bottleneck in my own business.

FAQs
What does an Inventory management consulting firm do?
We design and run the systems that tell you what to buy, how much, and when based on real demand data, not gut feel. That includes demand forecasting by channel, SKU categorization and margin analysis, inventory optimization (safety stock, reorder points, replenishment logic), and ongoing daily management by a dedicated operator embedded in your business. Unlike software companies, we don't just sell you a tool. Unlike traditional consultants, we don't just give you a plan. We build the system and run it.
We sell on multiple channels. Can you handle that complexity?
That's exactly what we're built for. We forecast demand independently for each channel - Shopify/DTC, Amazon, B2B wholesale, retail because each one has completely different demand patterns, margins, and constraints. Those channel forecasts then roll up into one unified purchasing and production plan so you know exactly how much total inventory you need and how to allocate it. No more robbing your Amazon FBA stock to fill a wholesale PO.
How is it different from hiring an in-house operations manager?
An operations manager runs your existing workflows. We redesign those workflows first - building the forecasting models, SKU strategy, replenishment logic, and S&OP processes then provide a dedicated operator (OpsAlly) who runs the new system daily. You get senior consulting expertise to build the infrastructure AND a dedicated person to execute it, starting at $1,500/month. That's a fraction of a US-based hire with none of the recruiting, training, or management overhead.
What does the free Inventory Audit include?
In 30 minutes, we'll walk through your current inventory setup, identify the two or three highest-impact problems (where you're bleeding the most cash or losing the most revenue), and give you a prioritized action plan whether you hire us or not. No pitch deck. No pressure. Just the kind of operational clarity that comes from having done this dozens of times before. If we're a fit, we'll talk about next steps. If not, you'll still walk away with actionable insights.
