Optimized Inventory & Logistics Management

Keep inventory and freight moving.

Inventory rightsizing across multi-echelon networks plus dispatch / route / warehouse optimization. Reduces working-capital lockup while improving service levels. Same optimization engine as Solution 1 — different decision surface.

What you get

End-to-end inventory + flow optimization.

Solution 3 attacks the three biggest working-capital + service-level levers in industrial operations: how much of what to hold where, how to source raw materials at lowest total cost, and how to move finished goods through dense distribution networks.

Anchor Optimizations:

  • Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimizer — set min/max per SKU per location under demand variance + lead-time uncertainty. The mathematical heavy lift this Solution earns its keep on.
  • Inbound Source Optimizer — when N suppliers offer the same raw material, pick by total landed cost + quality. Procurement teams typically save 2–4% on category spend.
  • Dispatch & Route Optimizer — truck routing with time windows + load consolidation. The Coca-Cola Andina use case.

Stream roadmap

5 Optimizations. 0 live, 2 in development, 3 on the roadmap.

Each Solution ships as a sequence of bounded Optimizations. The live ones can be adopted today; the in-development ones are funded and scheduled; the roadmap ones are scoped, not yet committed. Customers can join at any phase — pilot what's live, co-fund what's in development, or shape what's still on the board.

  • Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization

    Rightsize safety stocks across plant → DC → regional warehouse echelons jointly, instead of one node at a time. Frees working capital while improving service.

  • Returnable-Asset Rotation

Effort and Impact are estimated on a S / M / L / XL scale (1 dot to 4 dots). Effort = engineering work required to ship; Impact = expected operational improvement at typical industrial scale. Estimates are KPT internal benchmarks and are validated against your data during the 30-day shadow-run PoC before any commitment to scale.

Winter 2026 build

Co-design Solution 3 with KPT.

Solution 3 is scoped, sequenced, and partially built. We're recruiting one reference customer per industry vertical to co-design the production version — getting input shaped into the build, locking in first-year pricing, and going live ahead of the public launch.
