Inventory Dashboards

We Make Managing Inventory Easier

For many companies, the information you need to make inventory management easier is buried in multiple places or not easily accessible. We help medium-sized businesses get the right information in front of those who need it for decision making. Our dashboards are built and stored securely online using Microsoft tools.

  • How many days of supply (DSI) do I have?

  • What do I need to order soon?

  • How much of on-hand inventory is already committed to customer orders?

  • How much cash do I have tied up in inventory?

  • Do I have enough raw materials on hand to meet my 3 month forecast ?

  • Do I have any negative inventory items showing in my systems that I need to recount?

Explore our Sample Dashboard

Shown below is a sample inventory management dashboard that some of our clients use. You can explore all 4 pages by clicking on the arrow next to 1 of 4 shown below the chart. For a full screen view, click the double-headed arrow symbol in the bottom-right corner.

Page 1: A summary of all finished goods

  • The base unit of measure, on-hand, committed and available inventory.

  • The amount of product on order (internally or externally depending on your type of business).

  • The number of days of supply (DSI).

  • A 3-month and 6-month forecast of product demand.

Page 2: A Summary of Raw Materials

  • Based on the bill of materials for each finished good item, the raw material needs are calculated.

  • The amount of raw materials on-hand, committed, available and on order.

  • The number of days of supply (DSI).

  • A 3-month and 6-month forecast of product demand.

Page 3: The Cost of Inventory

  • Displays the amount of cash flow tied up in inventory for both finished goods and raw materials.

Page 4: Negative Inventory Counts

  • Sometimes inventory counts go astray and many companies experience negative inventory counts in their data systems. This page indicates items that may need to be recounted to improve inventory accuracy.



Why Use an Inventory Management Dashboard Tool?

  1. Spend less time managing your inventory
    Free up valuable time previously spent searching data from multiple places or performing manual updates.

  2. View all of your inventory information in one place to see the entire picture
    Whether you sell on Amazon, Shopify or through retail distribution (JC Penney, Target, Wal-mart, Ulta, Walgreens, CVS), or any other website platform, view all of your inventory in one central portal from anywhere in the world.

  3. Eliminate the risk of missing sales or disappointing customers

    With the ability to see inventory already committed to orders and the resulting inventory quantities that are truly available, you’ll know when you’re about to over-commit your supply.

  4. Reduce the amount of cash flow tied up in inventory

    While no-one can predict future product demand perfectly, the use of forecasting helps reduce over-production of goods that sit on the shelf tying up valuable cash flow.
