Operational Health Check

Select your business's primary operational symptom below to see the root cause and our target solution.

The Symptom & Cause

Inventory & Planning Imbalance

You are running out of top-selling products, resulting in lost revenue, while simultaneously holding thousands of dollars of slow-moving inventory in your warehouse.

Root Cause: Lack of lead-time adjusted safety stock formulas, reliance on static historical averages, and manual ordering processes.
The Oak Solution

Custom MRP & Demand Engines

We build dynamic, automated demand planners in Excel or Google Sheets that connect directly to your sales channels. We implement lead-time and variability math to secure your inventory.

  • Dynamic reorder-point calculations
  • Auto-calculated safety stock targets
  • Overstock identification & capital reclamation
Solve This Challenge
The Symptom & Cause

Siloed Systems & Reporting Lag

You spend hours exporting CSVs and copying data. You cannot easily see true profitability by SKU after factoring in freight, duties, and acquisition costs.

Root Cause: Disconnected software, lack of unified data modeling, and manual dashboard assembly.
The Oak Solution

Unified Margin & Performance Dashboards

We consolidate your sales, ERP, and shipping data into real-time interactive dashboards (Looker Studio / Excel) that automatically calculate landed costs and track margins.

  • Landed-cost SKU margin models
  • Automated daily/weekly data syncs
  • Real-time vendor & fulfillment KPIs

The Symptom & Cause

Sales vs. Operations Disconnect

Sales promises growth, finance sees cash flow constraints, and warehouse operations suffers from labor or capacity overloads because they didn't see the demand wave coming.

Root Cause: Absence of a structured monthly Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process and consensus-building calendar.
The Oak Solution

Structured S&OP Cadences

We implement lightweight, practical S&OP planning cycles and cross-functional capacity tools that align leadership on a single, shared demand forecast.

  • Consensus forecast modeling templates
  • Monthly capacity planning calculators
  • Executive S&OP meeting agendas & KPIs
Align Our Teams
The Symptom & Cause

Vendor Delays & Uncontrolled Costs

Late shipments disrupt operations, vendor rates rise unchecked, and you have no clear historical record of supplier accuracy to negotiate better terms.

Root Cause: Manual purchasing workflows and a lack of structured, metrics-driven supplier performance tracking.
The Oak Solution

Supplier Performance & RFQ Architecture

We design custom supplier scorecards and build structured RFP/RFQ frameworks to evaluate vendor performance, optimize pricing, and diversify lead-time risk.

  • Automated On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) trackers
  • RFQ cost-comparison modeling templates
  • Strategic sourcing & contract support

E-Commerce & DTC

Inventory Planning Engine

Regulated Retail

Looker Studio Margin Intelligence

Logistics & Distribution
