How it works

A clear path from chaos to control.

The same four moves every time, so you always know what happens next and what it costs. No discovery theater, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.

PHASE 01
Weeks 1–3

Diagnose

We dig into your real data: demand history, inventory position, lead times, and how the plan actually gets made today. Numbers first, opinions second.

  • Forecast accuracy and bias scored on your SKUs
  • Excess, obsolete, and stockout exposure quantified
  • Process walked from forecast to purchase order
PHASE 02
Week 3

Prioritize

You get a ranked roadmap tied to dollars: biggest, fastest wins first. We present it to whoever needs to say yes, and the diagnostic fee is credited toward whatever you choose next.

  • Quick wins with payback estimates
  • Sequenced roadmap, not a wish list
  • Executive readout, in plain language
PHASE 03
Weeks 4–14

Implement

We do the work alongside your team: clean the data, configure the tools, set the policies, and train the planners. AI forecasting, planning software, ERP integration, whatever the roadmap called for.

  • Hands-on configuration, not slideware
  • Your planners enabled, not bypassed
  • Results measured against the baseline
PHASE 04
Ongoing

Run

We hand over a plan your team can own, with playbooks and a cadence that keeps it honest. Or we stay on as your fractional planning leadership and run it with you.

  • Full documentation and handover
  • Optional retainer for ongoing leadership
  • Quarterly reviews to keep gains compounding

What we need from you

Two exports from your ERP (sales history and current inventory), an hour with the person who owns the plan today, and a decision-maker at the readout. That's it. We handle the rest, and your data is handled confidentially.
