Inventory diagnostic pilot

Better stock decisions without changing who makes them.

We analyze a sample of your Flash Speed data, identify how each item behaves, and give your buyers practical recommendations to review.

Why it matters

A single sales average is not enough for marine inventory.

Commissioning and haul-out periods shift demand. Project orders distort ordinary usage. Some items sell every week while others matter only when a customer needs an exact fitting.

The pilot separates those patterns SKU by SKU before anyone changes a minimum or maximum.

Classification first

Different demand patterns need different inventory rules.

Each SKU is classified before a stocking rule is considered.

01 · Runners Frequent, predictable

Stable replenishment rules for items that move regularly.

02 · Seasonal Peaks and troughs

Min and max change with commissioning, haul-out, and season.

03 · Intermittent Sporadic demand

Uneven usage gets more conservative stocking logic.

04 · Project / bulk Exceptional buys

Large one-off transactions stay separate from normal usage.

05 · Slow / dead Little movement

Flagged for review and reduction instead of automatic reorder.

The pilot

Three steps, with no system change.

1

Flash Speed export

12 to 24 months of sales and inventory history. A sample of 100–250 active SKUs is enough to begin.

2

Rule-based analysis

We separate seasonality, ordinary usage, and exceptional transactions using predetermined rules.

3

Manager review

Your team reviews every finding and decides which recommendations, if any, to use.

The deliverable

An inventory report built for review.

It includes demand classifications, seasonally adjusted usage, flagged bulk orders, and suggested replenishment parameters.
