Where are you on your field inventory journey?
Five stops. Five tools. Each one turns a question about your field inventory into a number, in minutes. Not sure where to start? Begin at step one.
The journey
Five questions, in the order they come up
Every field inventory project runs the same route, from a vague suspicion that stock is going missing to a signed business case. Each stop has a tool that answers it in minutes. Pick the one that matches where you are.
Where does your ERP stop?
Inside the four walls the data is solid. In an engineer van, at a customer site, on a consigned shelf, most systems fall back on a number someone typed in weeks ago. Ten questions give you a field readiness score out of 30, your weakest dimension and the three gaps worth fixing first.
What is the gap costing you?
A number beats an opinion in every budget conversation. The calculator puts the annual cost of inventory you own but do not control on paper, driver by driver, from expiry write-offs to the cash tied up on someone else’s shelf.
What does fixing it return?
Savings, payback period and three-year ROI, modelled on your own locations, field users and stock value. Six industry presets to start from. Every assumption is on screen, so finance can argue with the inputs instead of the conclusion.
Who can actually do this?
These projects are won and lost on offline scanning, barcode depth, expiry handling and ERP integration. Score vendors on the criteria that decide it, not the ones on their website. Mark what is a must, the grid recalculates as you go.
Does Ventory fit?
Operator, partner or distributor, the answer is different and so are the questions. Seven of them and you know whether a demo is worth the half hour, plus what to ask in it. No deck, no discovery call first.
