Inventory Optimization
Inventory Optimization for CPG Brands That Want to Grow Without Guessing.
Unlock cash flow. Prevent stockouts. Build a smarter, leaner inventory system.
When inventory goes wrong, it’s rarely just about stock levels. It’s a system problem, with serious consequences.
Stockouts hurt customer trust and kill momentum.
Excess inventory ties up cash and drains margin.
And chasing the wrong SKUs or bloated forecasts creates noise where you need clarity.
At W.NDeen Advisory, we help you turn inventory into a strategic asset, not a liability.
Our Inventory Optimization service is built for CPG brands that are scaling fast and need to clean up the clutter, protect working capital, and plan with precision.
What We Do
We go beyond spreadsheets and cycle counts. Our approach combines real-world CPG planning expertise with sharp analytics to right-size your inventory for where you’re going, not where you’ve been.
- Conduct a SKU-level inventory audit
- Analyze Days of Supply (DOS), excess %, and dead stock
- Segment inventory by velocity, profitability, and risk
- Model target stock levels based on lead times, demand patterns & supplier variability
- Build a clear, data-driven reorder strategy aligned with business goals
What You Get
✔️ A custom Inventory Health Report (DOS, turns, excess stock)
✔️ A recommended SKU rationalization strategy
✔️ Optimized reorder points and safety stock logic
✔️ Clear visibility into working capital opportunities
✔️ Tools and workflows to help your team maintain control without overbuilding
Why It Works
We don’t guess. And we don’t apply cookie-cutter formulas.
Every brand is different – your SKUs, channels, supplier dynamics, and growth stage all affect how your inventory should work. We help you build the system that fits your business.
Whether you’re DTC, omnichannel, or retail-heavy, our approach ensures you’re investing in the right inventory, in the right places, at the right time.
