INVENTORYIQ | DEMAND FORECASTING & INVENTORY INTELLIGENCE
Your ERP dashboard glows green. Your stockroom tells a different story.
“The ERP says we’re at target. But the maintenance manager just authorized $80,000 in emergency freight. A critical bearing failed on Line 3. We had 23 bearing types in stock — just not the one that stopped production.”
What ERP Blind Spots Actually Cost
MRO operations consistently run 40–60% above target stock levels — and the ERP calls it lean.
$300K–$900K in Carrying Costs
At a mid-size plant with 800–1,200 SKUs, 25–30% annual carrying cost on $1.2M–$3M in spare parts. Money sitting on shelves doing nothing.
$50K–$200K/Hour Downtime
A critical bearing with an 18-week lead time sits at minimum while 900 low-consequence bolts are triple-stocked. The ERP can’t tell the difference.
12–18% Goes Dead in 3 Years
Equipment upgrades. Process changes. Parts nobody removed because the ERP treats every SKU as equally valid. The stockroom grows. Nobody prunes.
Buffer on Top of Buffer
Quarterly safety stock reviews add buffer on top of buffer. Nobody can prove which parts are double-covered. 40% over target this year becomes 52% next year.
What Changes When Inventory Thinks in Consequences
Parts classified by downtime risk, not purchase spend.
Demand That Learns Your Patterns
Seasonal baselines adjust automatically. Anomalies flagged before they become stockouts. The 5% of parts that stop production get priority — every time.
Suppliers You Can Actually Trust
Real lead times — not catalog numbers. Which suppliers deliver on time. Which ones don’t. Dynamic safety stock that buffers against actual risk, not generic formulas.
Capital That Goes Where It Matters
Inventory drops 20–30% without increasing stockouts. Not by cutting spend. By reallocating from the 85% of parts that never needed deep stock to the criticals that stop lines.
No New Software. Same ERP.
