DISTRIBUTION
Back to overview/Inventory & availability

Stock in the wrong branch is not stock.

Multi-warehouse and branch inventory with days of cover, safety stock, ageing and obsolescence review, and inter-branch transfers driven by where the demand actually is.

The problem

A distributor with five branches usually has the item somewhere and cannot see it. Each branch protects its own stock, and the customer is told the line is unavailable while it sits ninety kilometres away.

Obsolescence follows the same logic: without an ageing review that names an owner, slow stock is carried at full value until someone writes it off in a bad quarter.
