No pitch. No obligation. 45 minutes.

The problem

Your data already holds the answer. It's just not visible.

If any of these sound familiar, there's probably six figures of decision quality trapped in spreadsheets nobody trusts.

01

Dead stock you can't see

Capital is tied up in slow-moving SKUs, but nothing flags it until the warehouse is full and the cash is gone.

02

Stockouts you didn't predict

The fast movers run dry without warning. There's no early signal — just an angry customer and an expedite fee.

03

Spreadsheet groundhog day

Planners rebuild the same workbook every Monday because there's no single source of truth they can rely on.

04

Suppliers nobody scores

One supplier's lead-time variance is quietly costing thousands a month — and it never appears on a report.

05

Forecasts on gut feel

Demand planning runs on instinct and last year's number, with seasonality buried where no one can use it.

06

ERP data, no insight

The system holds everything and surfaces nothing. Pulling a clean answer takes three days and two analysts.

How it works

From first call to clear findings in under a week

A defined process with a real deliverable — built to be useful on its own, not a disguised sales call.

STEP 01

Book the audit

Pick a time. A 45-minute video call — no prep needed beyond access to talk through your current setup.

STEP 02

Talk through your setup

We walk through your sources, planning workflow and the decisions that hurt most when the data is wrong.

STEP 03

Get it in writing

Within 48 hours you receive a written summary: three prioritised findings and the highest-impact quick wins.

STEP 04

Decide on fit

Act on it yourself, or bring me in to build it. Either way the findings are yours to keep.

No obligation. The written findings are yours whether we work together or not.

Most supply chain decisions live in one of these six places. Each is where I've built dashboards, run analysis and turned messy data into systems planners actually use.

Who I work with

Built for the planning realities of your sector

Mid-market teams (50–1,000 people) where inventory decisions move real money and the data is rarely in one place.

Retail · Online

E-commerce & DTC

Demand volatility, fast SKU turnover and fulfilment SLAs that punish late replenishment.

Production

Manufacturing

Component availability, BOM-level planning and supplier lead-time variance that disrupts schedules.

Perishables · FMCG

Food & Beverage

Short shelf lives, seasonal swings and waste minimisation that demands precise inventory signals.

Bricks & Mortar

Retail & Wholesale

Multi-location stock visibility, replenishment logic and supplier tracking across large SKU counts.

Fulfilment

3PL & Logistics

Client-level inventory reporting, capacity planning and SLA dashboards that build customer trust.

Cross-sector

Operations Teams

Any ops, planning or purchasing function drowning in spreadsheets and disconnected systems.

About

I turn supply chain data into decisions

I'm Rizwan — a supply chain analytics consultant with 10 years helping manufacturing, operations and food & beverage teams make sense of their data. My work sits where supply chain knowledge meets analytics: I understand the operational reality of inventory, planning and purchasing, and I build the data infrastructure that makes those functions run better.

Over the past decade I've designed dashboards, BI reports and analytics systems for teams drowning in spreadsheets and disconnected sources — turning fill rates, inventory turns, supplier performance and demand variability into clear views planners and ops leaders actually use.

How I work
  • Start from the decision that hurts, not the dashboard
  • Work with your real data, not a generic template
  • Hand over something your team can run without me
