Plan Smarter. Stock Better. Grow Faster.
Modern inventory & supply chain planning for eCommerce, retail, and consumer brands that want to stop guessing and start scaling.
The Hidden Cost of Poor Planning
Inventory is the heartbeat of every retail and eCommerce business—and one of the first things to break as you scale. More channels, more SKUs, more marketplaces, more suppliers, and more volatility quickly push inventory decisions beyond what spreadsheets and static forecasts can handle.
The cost isn’t always obvious at first:
• Stockouts quietly erode revenue and customer trust, damaging seller reputation even after item is back in stock.
• Excess inventory quietly drains cash and compresses margins
• Without a reliable planning system, these problems don’t offset—they compound
Today’s consumer brands operate in an environment where demand shifts overnight, transportation costs fluctuate, trade policies change frequently, and teams are stretched thin. FlexChain helps eCommerce brands, omnichannel retailers, consumer goods businesses, private equity portfolio companies, and 3PLs build planning systems that work in the real world—unifying forecasting, supply planning, S&OP, and data cleanup into a practical, decision-ready process that keeps teams aligned and inventory intentional, optimized, and profitable.
What We Do Differently
Unified demand forecasting + supply planning built for reality - Right-sized models that account for seasonality, promotions, lead times, MOQs, channel mix, cash constraints, and vendor behavior—driving 10–30% fewer stockouts and more predictable purchasing.
Inventory alerts before problems get expensive - ABC segmentation, lifecycle analytics, and automated alerts flag excess, aging, and low-coverage SKUs—paired with clear actions like reorder adjustments, transfers, or markdowns.
Assortment & SKU rationalization that stops SKU creep - ABC segmentation and lifecycle analytics keep winners in stock and retire losers faster—freeing working capital and simplifying operations.
Governance & S&OP that actually aligns teams - Lightweight, effective S&OP processes ensure marketing, finance, ops, buying, and leadership operate from the same plan every month.
Data cleanup & systems integration others avoid - We fix item master data, map channels, integrate systems, and clean historical demand—so planning runs smoothly and predictably.
