Episode 413: 🏭🧱 Inventory Stock, Planning Strategies, and Cost Savings: From Supply Chain to SciFi

Dynamics Corner

In this lively episode of Dynamics Corner, Kris, and Brad are joined by Vaughan Proctor and Sam Bush to weave together personal tales—like their love for Silo and Severance—with a deep dive into Netstock’s journey in inventory management for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). They spotlight how demand planning hinges on trusting data over gut instincts, a shift amplified by COVID-19’s impact on business operations. The trio digs into Netstock’s evolution, emphasizing how clean data and product partnerships streamline inventory forecasts for SMBs aiming to cut costs. They stress that effective forecasting demands integrating external factors and historical trends to boost accuracy and reduce excess stock. Collaborative forecasting with customers emerges as a game-changer, aligning supply with demand while trimming waste and expenses. Wrapping up, they underscore the role of transparent culture and change management in adopting tech that optimizes inventory as an asset, not a liability, driving cost reduction across the board.
