High return rates, stockouts, overstocked SKUs, and underperforming suppliers all have measurable financial costs. This audit surfaces every operational inefficiency and attaches a dollar value to each one.
Eight analyses that quantify every operational leak.
To attach a dollar value to every operational inefficiency impacting your bottom line.
High return rates, stockouts, slow fulfillment, and rising operational costs.
Supplier management, inventory purchasing, warehouse positioning, and carrier selection.
Exactly where your operations are losing time, cash, and efficiency, and which improvements should be prioritized first.
Where processes are slowing down your operations.
Where stock is moving too slowly or tying up unnecessary cash.
Where orders are taking too long to process, dispatch, or deliver.
Which suppliers are reliable, and which are creating delays, defects, or extra costs.
Where returns, shipping costs, and carrier performance are creating operational inefficiencies.
Where manual work and inefficient processes are limiting team capacity.
Where operational changes can reduce unnecessary costs and improve efficiency.
From demand forecasting to supplier scorecards.
Data Analyzed: Historical sales velocity, seasonality, recent demand trends, and current inventory levels.
We build a 90-day demand forecast for your key products to help you plan purchasing based on expected demand rather than guesswork. We identify products at risk of stockouts and products where inventory may exceed expected demand.
Data Analyzed: Sell-through rates, days of inventory on hand, inventory turnover, and stock value by product.
We identify which products are moving quickly and which products are tying up cash unnecessarily. This shows where inventory is healthy, where reordering should continue, and where purchasing should be reduced or paused.
Data Analyzed: Products with zero or minimal sales movement over a defined period, including inventory value, storage costs, and recovery potential.
We identify products that are no longer generating meaningful sales and calculate the cost of keeping them in inventory. We then estimate how much cash can realistically be recovered through liquidation, bundles, or targeted clearance offers.
Data Analyzed: Processing time from purchase to dispatch by product, supplier, order volume, and fulfillment stage.
We analyze how long orders take to move from purchase to dispatch and identify where delays occur. This helps uncover operational bottlenecks that can slow delivery, increase support requests, and negatively affect customer satisfaction.
Data Analyzed: Delivery time, on-time delivery rate, shipping cost per order, and carrier performance segmented by region.
We compare carriers across delivery speed, reliability, and shipping cost to identify where transportation performance is creating unnecessary expense or customer satisfaction problems.
Data Analyzed: Return rates, refund amounts, reverse shipping costs, restocking costs, and lost margin by product, category, and supplier.
We identify which products and categories generate the most returns and calculate the true operational cost behind them. This reveals whether returns are creating hidden margin loss and which specific issues are driving customers to send products back.
Data Analyzed: On-time delivery rate, order accuracy, defect rate, lead time, and cost consistency by supplier.
We compare supplier performance across reliability, quality, accuracy, and cost to identify which suppliers are supporting efficient operations and which ones are creating delays, defects, and additional operational costs.
Data Analyzed: Revenue, order volume, return rate, fulfillment time, and shipping costs by region.
We compare regional sales performance with returns, fulfillment speed, and shipping costs to identify where your business is performing efficiently and where geographic inefficiencies are increasing operational costs.
Data Analyzed: Orders processed per employee, processing time, manual tasks, workflow efficiency, and team capacity.
We analyze how efficiently your team handles day-to-day operations and identify where manual work, uneven workloads, or inefficient processes are consuming valuable time. This reveals where process improvements or automation can increase output without requiring additional staff.
