Over inventoried companies usually have profitability issues. Low velocity inventory can result in reduced gross profits, inflated product development costs and unnecessary warehousing expense. Special make-ups, carry-over styles, product line extensions and company store inventories are just some of the complicating factors that can impede effective inventory management. Our team’s in-depth inventory analyses will identify methods and opportunities to optimize inventory levels, improve gross profit and reduce operating expenses associated with carrying too much inventory.
