Working Capital Inflow & Optimization
Problem Description
Global parts distributors sit on massive, distributed inventories spanning thousands of SKUs. Misjudging demand cycles means millions of dollars in working capital are trapped in stagnant warehouse aisles. Manual procurement processes are too slow to react to macroeconomic shifts, resulting in redundant warehouse footprints and elevated holding costs.
Analysis
Working capital velocity is directly tied to the accuracy of demand prediction and the speed of procurement adjustments.
