Control inventory and maximize your profit potential
Inventory is the focal point of any distribution and wholesale business. Too little inventory leaves your company unable to serve its customers—too much inventory can eat away your company’s profits.
In addition to pricing considerations, other factors, such as inventory management, methods of valuation and determination of the true carrying cost of an item, can have a dramatic impact on your company’s bottom line. Therefore, today’s distributors must recognize the hidden cost of carrying excess, slow-moving or obsolete inventories. Your company should strive to attain an optimal balance between minimizing inventory levels and maintaining a sufficient quantity of stock to satisfy customer needs. Freight costs and transportation logistics can also significantly impact your company’s profitability.

Our team of trained strategic advisors will work with you to help devise methods and procedures to analyze and control inventory flow as well as analyze the marketplace and existing sales demographics, in order to channel future growth and maximize your profit potential.
