Inventory Optimization
Right stock, right place, right time — optimise inventory levels and allocation to cut both stockouts and excess, freeing cash without hurting availability.
What is Inventory Optimization?
Inventory Optimization at MindCraft Solution helps you hold the right inventory in the right locations — balancing service levels against the cost of carrying stock. We combine demand forecasts, lead times and service targets to set optimal stock and reorder levels, and to allocate inventory across your network intelligently.
Too much stock ties up cash and risks markdowns; too little loses sales. We model the trade-offs explicitly — service level versus working capital — and recommend policies (safety stock, reorder points, allocation) that hit your targets at the lowest cost, adapting as demand and supply change.
Integrated with your ERP and replenishment, the result is lower inventory, fewer stockouts, and a leaner, more responsive supply chain.

Questions, answered
By optimising where and how much you hold rather than cutting across the board. Better forecasts, safety-stock modelling and smart allocation reduce excess in some places while protecting availability in others.
Yes — multi-location allocation is core: it positions inventory across your network to balance service and cost, not just set a single level.
Yes — recommendations feed your existing replenishment and inventory systems, either advising planners or automating reorders.
Often within the first planning cycles — reducing obvious excess and protecting key lines — with larger gains as policies and forecasts mature.
