For businesses that are serious about getting their inventory planning and management set up right.
Six focus areas across the demand planning function and the S&OP cycle, delivered through three practical consulting options. Each targeting a common source of stock, cash, or coordination pressure in a growing business.
Building a forward‑looking view of what you'll sell, by SKU and channel, using your own data. Replacing gut‑feel ordering with a forecast you can actually trust.
Designing the operating rhythm that connects sales, marketing, ops, and finance into one planning cycle - and standing it up inside your business so it actually runs.
Sizing safety stock, target cover, and reorder points to your business reality. Reducing slow movers, freeing working capital, and protecting service on your best sellers.
Connecting your inventory plan to a cash view, so you can see when working capital pressure will arrive - and act before it gets there.
Translating the demand signal into reorder timing and quantities across suppliers, lead times, and warehouses, so you stop running out and stop over‑ordering at the same time.
Getting sales, marketing, operations, and finance reading from the same plan. Less last‑minute scrambling, fewer hero efforts, more confident decisions.
Dimple. brings demand planning and S&OP into the business through three practical stages: understanding what is happening now, implementing the right planning process, and supporting the ongoing demand planning cycle. The work starts with clarity, moves into implementation, and can continue through fractional demand planning support when the business needs senior planning capability without hiring the role internally.
This is a fixed‑scope diagnostic of your current planning process, tools and data. The goal is to understand how inventory decisions are currently being made, where pressure is building, and what better planning could realistically improve.
It gives your business a clear first view of what can be improved, what those improvements could unlock, and what the next step should look like.
Know inventory planning needs to improve, but need clarity before committing to a larger implementation project.
A clear diagnosis of the current planning gap and a practical view of the opportunity ahead.
This is where the inventory planning solution gets implemented into your business. It is scoped after The Fundamentals, because the right planning process depends on what your business already has, what is missing, and where the biggest opportunities sit.
This is where Dimple. helps put demand planning and S&OP into practice, so inventory decisions are supported by clearer inputs, a stronger forward view, and a recurring process going forward.
Are ready to move from understanding the problem to implementing the planning process that helps fix it.
A practical demand planning and S&OP process designed around the way your business operates.
This is fractional demand planning for businesses that need senior planning capacity, but without hiring a full‑time in‑house demand planner.
In businesses where the inventory planning process is already implemented, The Cycle adds the demand planning capability needed to keep this process useful.
This can also support businesses that have recently implemented a new planning or forecasting tool, but are getting stuck on how to maintain it, use it regularly, and turn it into better inventory decisions.
Need experienced demand planning support, but are not ready to hire the role internally.
