We had a warehouse full of the wrong stuff. Sound familiar? One company I worked with had $2M tied up in slow-moving parts while their best-selling item was constantly on backorder. ERP Consulting didn’t just give them a new system; it gave them a new set of eyes on their data.
The Real Problem Wasn’t the Software
They blamed their old system, but the real issue was they had no accurate reorder points. We set up simple ABC analysis rules to fix this.
- A items (high value) counted weekly with tighter controls.
- B items counted monthly.
- C items automated with min/max reorder flags.
The Action Plan That Actually Worked
We worked with the warehouse team to tag every single bin. No more guessing where things were. This is where ERP Consulting paid for itself in the first quarter.
After three months, stockouts dropped by 85%. The key was enforcing the process, not just buying a box.
