Supply Chain & Operations
How do you help businesses reduce stockouts and holding costs?
We analyze historical sales velocity, supplier lead time variability, and seasonal demand patterns to calculate optimal statistical safety stock levels and automated reorder points.
What is your approach to Lean Six Sigma?
We execute DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) and Kaizen projects to eliminate operational bottlenecks, reduce transit lags, and streamline order fulfillment.
Can you help manage our 3PL and carrier relationships?
Yes. We perform multi-carrier shipping rate audits, establish warehouse SLAs, verify invoice accuracy, and optimize multi-channel fulfillment routing.
Custom Software & SaaS Development
Can you build a custom SaaS product or internal operations portal?
Yes. We design and develop full-stack, multi-tenant web applications, supplier/vendor portals, custom WMS barcode tracking tools, and client dashboards built to your precise workflow needs.
Do you integrate with our existing ERP or database via APIs?
Yes. We engineer secure REST and GraphQL API middleware, webhook pipelines, and automated synchronization engines that connect disparate systems.
Operational Accounting & Bookkeeping
How does bookkeeping connect with supply chain management?
Supply chain agility requires accurate financial numbers. We bridge physical inventory tracking with your general ledger, managing COGS accounting, 3-way PO invoice matching, vendor payments (P2P), and monthly closing.
Can you clean up historical books and inventory backlogs?
Yes. Our historical cleanup service audits past financial records, reconciles inventory variances against general ledgers, and brings backlogged statements current.
Do you prepare year-end tax packages?
We produce clean, reconciled, audit-ready financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) formatted specifically for your certified CPA or tax preparer.
Pricing & Contracts
Are there long-term binding contracts?
No. Our monthly retainers operate on a flexible month-to-month basis with 30 days' notice for changes. One-time optimization projects and SaaS development sprints use fixed milestone billing.
Can we hire you for bookkeeping only or supply chain only?
Yes. You can engage us specifically for supply chain optimization, custom software development, or monthly bookkeeping.
