Cash control

Watch inventory dollars against revenue before cash gets stuck.

Action speed

Reorder decisions land fast enough to matter in peak weeks.

SKU-level demand forecasting

Forecast demand by week, not by guess.

The model reads sales history, marketing calendars, holidays, weather, and launch timing. It keeps a rolling 12-month view so you can place inventory before the spike, not after it.

Short history on a new product is fine. Confidence bands show where the forecast is tight and where it needs a human call.

Automated replenishment and budget alignment

Reorder points that match your cash plan.

Reorder alerts

Set a service level, then let the model calculate the stock point. A 98% target is fine. So is something tighter for your hero SKUs.

Sample trigger
SKU 4812: reorder in 6 days. Lead time risk is rising.

Budget impact preview

Test safety stock changes before you commit the spend. The platform shows cash tied up, margin pressure, and the budget hit in one line.

Sample decision
Add 15% safety stock. Working capital rises by $42k.

Warehouse allocation

Split shipments hurt margin. The system suggests the right warehouse mix so you move less freight and keep fulfilment costs under control.

Sample route
Shift West Coast stock to avoid two-zone shipping.
Fulfilment costs

See the cost before the order ships.

Model per-order fulfilment cost by warehouse, carrier, and delivery speed. Change a surcharge, then watch the delta update in real time. The difference shows up fast.

Channel Base cost Peak cost Delta
In-house East $7.40 $8.95 +$1.55
3PL West $6.15 $6.88 +$0.73
Express ship $11.20 $13.10 +$1.90

Cost summary

In-house vs outsourced

In-house fulfilment
$8.40
Better control, higher fixed overhead.
Outsourced fulfilment
$6.82
Lower cost on mixed volume, less control.
Best fit

Use outsourced fulfilment for volatile lines. Keep high-margin hero SKUs close to the customer when split shipments start eating the margin.

Working capital dashboard

Kayria D.

The forecast stopped our overbuying on two launch cycles. We saw the cash impact before we placed the next PO.

Krishana Forquer, VP of Operations, Northline Merchants

We needed a clear view of demand, fulfilment cost, and working capital in one place. Jenkins & Johnson Optimize gave us a weekly planning rhythm that our team actually uses. The reorder alerts are tied to lead times, and the budget preview tells us what a larger buy will do before we approve it.

Why did we choose Jenkins & Johnson Optimize?

Because it shows the cash hit, the stock gap, and the shipping cost in the same screen. That made the decision simple.
