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.

Start from the closest model, then adjust every field to your own footprint. Everything recalculates as you type.
How the model works
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
