There's a year of cash sitting in your yard.
Bought for a job that finished in March. Nobody ordered wrong and nobody did anything careless — it's just that once it arrived, nothing ever looked back at it again.
Tell us what's on your shelves
What you stock, when it was last counted properly, and how often someone orders something you already own. A person reads it and a person replies.
Would rather walk us through it? Pick a time.
What it usually turns out to be
- The count hasn't been right in years, so everyone orders to be safe. Safe is expensive, and it compounds quietly every single week.
- What's on site and what's in the system are two different numbers, and everyone has privately decided which one to believe.
- Nothing flags stock that stopped moving. Dead inventory doesn't announce itself; it just sits there being counted as an asset.
The cost isn't the write-off at year end. It's the cash you can't use in the meantime, and the second purchase order for something already in the building.
What we'd actually do
Start with what you bought in the last twelve months against what moved. That one comparison usually shows both problems at once — what you're overbuying and what's never going to sell — and it needs nothing installed to produce.
See what we've fixed before, then decide whether it's worth half an hour.
