What is your consigned stock quietly costing you every year?

Stock you own, sitting at someone else's site. Implants in a hospital, reagents in a lab, parts at a customer location. It rarely appears as one line in the P&L, so it rarely gets managed. This model puts a number on it across five drivers.

How the model works. Five drivers, each calculated separately, then a recovery rate applied per driver based on outcomes Ventory has delivered: 60% of expiry write-offs avoided through FEFO logic and expiry alerts, 70% of unreconciled stock recovered through real-time visibility and accountability, 65% of counting time returned through guided mobile counts, billing delay reduced to 2 days through point-of-use capture, and 25% of consigned stock released through accuracy. Conservative inputs make the case stronger, not weaker.

Model assumptions: recovery rates of 60% on expiry, 70% on unreconciled stock, 65% on counting time, billing delay reduced to 2 days, and a 25% reduction in consigned stock held. Working capital is valued at your stated cost of capital and 1,800 productive hours per FTE. Figures are indicative and not a quote.

How the model works

What counts as consigned stock?

Anything you still own that sits somewhere you do not control. Implants and instrument trays in a hospital, reagents in a lab, spare parts at a customer site, vendor-managed inventory on a client's shelf. The common thread is that the stock is on your balance sheet and out of your sight.

Why five drivers?

Because consigned loss never shows up as one line. It leaks through expiry write-offs, stock consumed but never reported, the labour of counting it by hand, the weeks between consumption and invoice, and the excess you hold at every site because you cannot see what is actually there. Add them up and the number usually surprises the finance team.

Where do the recovery rates come from?

Outcomes measured across Ventory deployments: 60% of expiry write-offs avoided through FEFO logic and expiry alerts, 70% of unreconciled stock recovered through real-time visibility and accountability, 65% of counting time returned through guided mobile counts, billing delay cut to 2 days through point-of-use capture, and 25% of consigned stock released through accuracy. Each rate is applied to its own driver rather than to the total.

Do I have to give my email?

Not for the headline exposure. Annual exposure, exposure per location, total consigned value and the recoverable share are open. A work email opens the driver-by-driver table, the working capital release, the three-year view and the printable one-pager.

How long does a deployment take?

Live in 4-8 weeks, ERP integrated. Consigned stock is a standard Ventory capability rather than a custom build, which is why the timeline is weeks rather than quarters.
