An inventory management consultant is a professional who provides expert advice on the management and optimisation of inventory.
We help you fix your current inventory problems. Â
We help you streamline your inventory processes, improve accuracy, and reduce costs to prevent those problems re-occurring in the future.Â
This makes your inventory project an investment in your business with a measurable Return on Investment (ROI).
We also help you apply inventory management practices specific to your industry.
Inventory management consultants are responsible for analysing the current inventory and processes of a business, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing solutions. Issues addressed can include:
We may also provide training to staff and advise on the latest inventory management technologies and best practices.
Your consultant should have a deep understanding of your industry and the specific challenges it faces.
We are up-to-date with the latest practices, trends and technologies in inventory management but more importantly, how they apply in your specific industry.
Whether you are in retail, wholesale, manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, energy, health, or you are a third party logistics provider we have successfully helped many clients in your industry.
We therefore know and understand the particular customer, supplier, product and process impacts on your inventory requirements and how to most efficiently address them.
Inventory accuracy is crucial for maintaining efficient operations and customer satisfaction. Some important processes include:
Cycle counting is a process where a small subset of inventory, in a specific location, is counted on a specified day. Consultants can help implement cycle counting programs to improve inventory accuracy and reduce the need for complete physical inventories.
ABC analysis is an inventory categorisation method which can be used in many different ways e.g.
Consultants can help businesses implement ABC analysis to prioritise your inventory management efforts for specific purposes.
Inventory reduction can free up cash and reduce storage costs.  But this will not help your business if it leads to increased other costs and poor customer satisfaction. There are many examples whereby low turnover items are kept in inventory:
In a Just-In-Time (JIT) strategy, materials are only ordered and received as they are needed in the production process. Consultants can help businesses implement JIT systems to reduce inventory levels and costs.
Dropshipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock.
Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. Consultants can help businesses set up dropshipping arrangements to eliminate the need for inventory.
Technology can greatly enhance inventory management processes.
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are software applications that help control and manage day-to-day operations in a warehouse. Consultants can help businesses select and implement a WMS that meets your needs.
Inventory Management, like all good business, is about being a good middleman.
Inventory Management must balance the needs of customers with materials flow from suppliers.Â
Real-time capture and visibility of inventory transactions and holdings is critical if timely decisions are to be made. Automated data collection technologies, such as barcoding and RFID, can greatly improve inventory accuracy and efficiency.
Your Warehouse Consultant can help with the application of appropriate technologies associated with Automated Data Capture.
Inventory management is evolving with the advent of new technologies.
Predictive analytics involves using data, statistical algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify the likelihood of future outcomes. Predictive analytics can be used to forecast demand, helping optimise your inventory levels.
The Internet of Things (IoT) involves connecting physical devices to the internet, allowing them to collect and share data. IoT can be used to track inventory in real-time, providing businesses with up-to-date inventory information.
Inventory management is a complex but crucial aspect of business operations.
An inventory management consultant can provide valuable expertise and guidance.
An inventory management consultant can help optimise your inventory processes, reduce costs, and stay competitive in today’s fast-paced business environment.

What can a poorly managed inventory result in?
Poorly managed inventory can result in the following symptoms and consequences.
However, these are not the only problems that you could be facing — there could be several others
If you’re facing any of these issues, get in touch with SCSA and let our experienced team set you up for success. SCSA has your back with our inventory management consultants.
How does SCSA help?
There are a number of aspects that define a carefully crafted and managed inventory. If you’re not an inventory management expert, you might get several of these aspects wrong. But that need not be the case with SCSA’s assistance.
SCSA will help you in:
When you’re managing a business with limited storage capacity and other limited resources, you can’t afford to hold unnecessary items in your warehouse. Needless to say, you can’t afford to be short on inventory, either. You need to fulfill the demand that your customers have. You need to achieve the correct balance in your inventory amount, and that’s where SCSA’s inventory management consultants come in. Our systems support can help you achieve just the right balance in your inventory.
There are several cost factors that add up to your total inventory management costs. You have to manage the cost of warehouse rentals and other rental costs for safety equipment to hold dangerous or fragile products. You need human resources to manage and handle the products, count them, and move them. And of course, you need to manage the costs associated with hiring human labor. Other costs like transport costs and bills, also add to the complexities of inventory cost management. But not to worry, SCSA’s has your back when it comes to inventory management systems.
Every business has certain unique requirements for its inventory management that set it apart from others. Unique requirements require a unique solution in the form of a unique inventory management plan. SCSA’s inventory management systems and our expert inventory management consultants can help you get build or refine a unique plan for your business.
Let SCSA help you design the most effective warehouse for your business. When it comes to warehouse centre layout design, SCSA is a leader in the field.
SCSA consultants are expert at assisting clients to specify WMS requirements to support your business.
Whether to outsource any logistics functions to an external 3rd party logistics service provider (3PL) is an important decision for a business to make.
