Everything the build installs.
One build models your catalog properly. Then the weekly run keeps it true. Here is exactly what you get, what it replaces, and what it costs.
Stop the bleed.
Before optimizing anything, we look for money that is already leaking. This layer is first because it is the fastest to prove and the easiest to check against your own records.
The Reimbursement Sweep
Every shipment reconciled, and missing units turned into documented, filed cases. In one engagement, 280 unreconciled shipments became 31 filed cases. Recovery firms do this one slice and keep 20 to 25 percent of what they find, permanently. Here it happens once, and you keep all of it. Included
The Overstock Scan
Every node swept for aged and hidden positions, with carrying-cost math attached, so overstock becomes a ranked list with dollar weights instead of a feeling. Each line carries the move that clears it, a price reduction or a push behind the listing, sized against what the stock is costing you to hold. We do not just flag it and watch it. Included
The Reconciliation Layer
Your marketplace number, your 3PL number, and your supplier number made to agree, with every discrepancy named rather than averaged away. This is the layer where 4,800 units were found sitting invisible under a duplicate SKU.
The Five-Point Health Check
Stock-level pricing eligibility, inventory quality, suppressed listings, hazmat flags, and buy-box floor, checked at onboarding and then monthly.
Cash parked, ranked, with a tier attached.
Overstock is not a feeling. Each line is units held past their band, priced at carrying cost, sorted by what it is costing to keep.
Illustrative SKUs and figures. The tiers, the thresholds, the carrying-cost method and the recommended moves are the real ones. We size the move. Whoever runs your pricing and your ads executes it, because that stays their lane.
Build the model.
The system the weekly plan runs on. Built once, properly.
The Master Sheet System
One combined inventory and demand view across every node: marketplace fulfilment, inbound, your 3PL, your own warehouse, supplier-held stock, and in-transit, with days of coverage per location. First working version inside 72 hours of access. A client’s words: “you did this in a day. Not four weeks.”
The PO Tracker
Every order’s lifecycle as a field and not a conversation: statuses, quantities ordered, received and open, partial shipments, per-PO costs, ETAs. Built three times for three different brands, which makes it the most battle-tested asset we have.
The Forecast Engine
Weighted velocities, seasonality factors drawn from your own history, and reorder triggers expressed in days, so every SKU carries a recommended order date and quantity you did not have to compute.
The Lead-Time Pipeline Model
A 23-stage model of how long things actually take, per supplier and per shipping mode. The full ocean pipeline runs roughly 167 days door to sellable, and most brands plan as if it were 60. Your Q4 and Chinese New Year order-by dates fall out of this automatically.
The Sunset Tab
Per-SKU discontinue-or-liquidate flags with the reason attached to each line. This is the tab that caught a just-placed PO at roughly 400 days of coverage before it shipped, a catch that pays for the build several times over. A client’s words: “I love this... this is very accurate.”
Data Plumbing and SKU Mapping
The unglamorous layer everything else sits on: report extraction, cross-platform SKU mapping, export limits worked around. This is where the 4,800 invisible units turned up.
Days of cover, against each SKU’s own lead time.
The dashed line on each bar is that SKU’s supplier lead time. Cover that does not clear its own line is a stockout already scheduled. This is the read the weekly plan is built from.
Illustrative SKUs and dates. The shape is real.
Leave it behind.
So the system survives any one person stepping back. Including us.
The Nine SOPs
Every recurring motion written down, installed, and trained: order flow, ETA discipline, inbound documentation, QC and freight booking timing, stranded-inventory checks, duty and classification integration, ship-plan policy, supplier photo verification, and PO documentation with dual signatures. This is also your insurance against ever being dependent on us.
The Owner-Liberation Ladder
A written delegation roadmap with four milestones: you stop maintaining sheets, then you stop chasing ETAs, then you approve only above-threshold POs, then you read one weekly report. Reviewed monthly. It is a trajectory with milestones, never a switch.
Thirty days. One structured handover from you at the start, one sign-off walkthrough at the end. The workbook is yours, and if you ever leave, it leaves with you.
Both columns are drawn to the figures published above, at the same scale.
Bought piecemeal from consultants, the priced items above come to about $21,450, and the two unpriced ones are worth whatever they find. That gap is not a discount, and we will not pretend it is. It exists because the models and the SOPs are templates refined across real engagements, not built from a blank page for every client. A senior operator starting from scratch genuinely spends 40 to 60 hours here. We spend fewer, because we have done it before.
Half the build fee comes back as credit at month six. Prepay a year and all of it does.
Then we keep it true, every week.
The build gives you the system. The run is the ownership, which is the thing your spreadsheet, your software, and your last hire never had.
- The weekly plan, before your call: suggested POs with SKU, quantity and order-by date
- Transfer recommendations and risk flags, each with a reason
- The 30-minute call with the senior lead who built your numbers
- The watch between calls: coverage gaps, 2x velocity spikes, air-versus-ocean bridge math
- ETA discipline: committed versus actual per PO and per supplier, out of your inbox
- Quarterly supplier scorecards and the month-end stock valuation at cost
- Peak-season programs built backward from real landing dates
- You place the POs and run the transfers
- Everything in Core
- We place the approved POs, in your name
- We run the transfers and follow them until goods are checked in
- Suppliers and forwarders chased live, twice a week, with escalation
- Peak-season PO placement and air-versus-ocean bridge execution
Same plan either way. The difference is whose week it consumes.
Where Core stops and Partner starts.
Fixed prices only work with a fixed scope. Here are the edges, in public, before you pay anything.
Scroll the table sideways →
| Core | Partner | |
|---|---|---|
| Active SKUs | up to 300 | up to 500 |
| Inventory nodes | up to 3 | up to 4 |
| Country clusters | 1 | up to 2 |
| Suppliers chased live | tracked, not chased | up to 15 |
| We place the POs | no | yes |
| We run the transfers | no | yes |
| Weekly plan and call | yes | yes |
| The workbook is yours | yes | yes |
Bigger than Partner’s cap, we quote it separately. It is never a discounted mega-Partner.
The Found-Money Guarantee.
If the build does not surface at least one material finding, an unreconciled shipment, a misstated stock position, a wrong lead time or MOQ in active use, an overstock or surcharge exposure, the build fee comes back as service credit toward Core or Partner.
Capped at fees paid. Service credit, never cash. You judge whether a finding is material, with us, at the walkthrough, with the evidence on screen.
What we guarantee
The discipline. The plan, the cadence, the watch, and now the finding. That part is ours, so we stand behind it.
What we never guarantee
Zero stockouts. We do not control your cash, your suppliers, or your approvals, and a firm that guarantees outcomes it does not control is lying to you.
Why we can offer it
Every documented engagement we have run has surfaced something material in the modeling. The guarantee is not a bet against you. It is the working record, formalized.
What else you could do with the money.
Every rung here is real. We sit between a subscription and a hire, on purpose.
Per month, at the same scale. The two cyan rungs are the only ones that include a person who is accountable for the decision.
An in-house planner
One head, fully loaded, after a three-month search and before the vacations. If you have hired for this before, the real risk was never the salary. It was the ramp, then the struggle, then leaving with the system in their head.
The plan, and our hands on the keyboard
A small team rather than one head, and nobody takes leave at the same time.
The plan, and your hands on the keyboard
Priced above a subscription because it includes a person. Priced well below a hire because it does not include a head.
Forecasting software on its own
Keep it, we are not competing for that line item. It will recommend a reorder against a stock number that is wrong, because it does not know your 3PL miscounted. Numbers, and nobody standing behind them.
Your own hands and a decent sheet
Genuinely the right answer under 50 SKUs, or before you hold real inventory with real lead times. Ask us and we will point you at one.
$1,250 and $2,250 are the current launch rates. They only go up from here, and clients keep the rate they joined at.
Thirty minutes, then you decide.
Thirty minutes on a free call. You almost certainly know which SKUs are tight already. The harder part is the order-by date sitting behind them, the cash that has quietly stopped moving, and where your three systems disagree. That’s the conversation.
