For product-based businesses, inventory is often one of the largest uses of capital. Excess stock sits on shelves, tying up money that could be used elsewhere, while stockouts can damage revenue and customer trust. Optimising inventory means holding the *right* stock, at the *right* time, in the *right* quantity. ### **Why Most Businesses Are Losing Cash Without Realising** Many businesses rely on spreadsheets or gut instinct to manage inventory, which often leads to: - Overstocking slow-moving items - Running out of fast-moving products - Ordering too early (or too late) - Poor visibility of future demand In fact, inventory inefficiencies can significantly impact cash flow and profitability if not managed properly. ### **How StockTrim Helps You Free Up Cash** StockTrim uses demand forecasting to predict exactly what stock you need, and when. Instead of guessing, you can: - Reduce excess inventory - Avoid costly stockouts - Order only when required - Improve cash flow and profitability Many businesses using StockTrim reduce overstocking by 20–40% while improving availability. ### **How This Working Capital Calculator Works** Simply enter: - Your annual turnover - Number of SKUs - Average supplier lead time Based on real customer data, the calculator estimates how much working capital could be freed up by optimising your inventory. For a more precise result, you can start a free trial and connect your actual data. ### Want to see StockTrim in action? Get in contact with one of our representatives to get a demo today.
