Inventory Excellence

Unlock the full potential of your inventory.

Inventory is one of the toughest levers in today’s value chain. More SKUs, shorter life cycles, and volatile supply and demand make the daily balancing act harder than ever: service vs. cost, freshness vs. flexibility, growth vs. cash.

Bluecrux turns inventory management into a living engine: continuously optimized, embedded in your operating model, and resilient long after the project ends.

 

Value we deliver

  • 20%
    Average inventory reduction potential identified
  • 96%
    Of identified potential verified as realistic

Challenges we tackle

  • Obsolete or slow-moving stock driven by complexity

    As portfolios expand and supply chains become more volatile, inventory decisions get fragmented, leading to excess, aged stock, and dead or obsolete stock.

  • Shelf-life and Phase-in/Phase-out pressure

    Product shelf-life constraints and frequent portfolio changes make it hard to keep inventory healthy while avoiding waste or service risk.

  • Balancing NPI speed with immature demand signals

    Faster new product launches create uncertainty, and immature systems push teams to overstock to avoid stock-outs.

  • Greater pressure on cash and net working capital

    Leadership demands tighter control over inventory value without sacrificing customer service, putting planning and execution under strain.

  • Inventory focus comes in waves — not as a capability

    Many companies invest heavily in tools and programs, see improvements, and then lose momentum once the project ends. Inventory rises again, until the next “inventory crisis project” is launched.

  • Generic benchmark projects that miss your reality

    Relying solely on industry benchmarks creates “average-company” conclusions, not a roadmap for you. Bluecrux uses benchmarks as context, then dives into your real data and behaviors to pinpoint where value is trapped and what to do next, with actions you can execute immediately.

Our Approach: Inventory transformation services

We support inventory excellence from fast diagnosis to long-term inventory management capabilities. Our approach is modular, so you can start where your need is highest and scale into a sustainable inventory operating model.

Inventory Diagnostic

Fast, fact-based insight into where value is trapped and why.

What you get:

  • Rapid delivery of actionable insights.
  • High accuracy, powered by our technology and data methods.
  • Tangible recommendations translated into a ready-to-use roadmap.
  • Clear link to value/ROI to support decision-making and prioritization.

Targeted Optimization

Turn the roadmap into optimized policies and measurable results.

What you get:

  • Workshops to align on parameters and decision logic.
  • Optimization of inventory policies (safety stock, cycle stock, reorder logic, segmentation).
  • Simulation to validate first-cycle results, plus training/testing for continuous use.

Inventory Control

Lock in improvements by aligning execution to standards.

What you get:

  • Translate diagnostic and optimization levers into short- and mid-term execution actions.
  • Align planning, supply, and operational teams to inventory standards.
  • Governance and follow-up cadence to ensure adherence.

Inventory BaU (Business-as-Usual capability)

Build a sustainable inventory engine that doesn’t fade after projects end.

What you get:

  • Support to implement long-term (digital) inventory management capabilities.
  • Our transformation approach across operating model, system implementation, and CoE setup.
  • Continuous review and improvement cycle embedded in the organization.

 

Technology enabler

All services can be accelerated through our AI-powered supply chain decision intelligence platform, enabling faster diagnostics, sharper simulations, and ongoing monitoring to keep inventory optimal over time.
