Inventory & Supply Chain Analytics

Know what you have, what is moving, and what needs attention

Datazeb helps businesses connect inventory, purchasing, supplier, warehouse, sales, and finance data into trusted analytics and reporting.

How it works

From source systems to one inventory view

The important work often sits between source and dashboard: SKU mapping, location mapping, unit conversions, receipt logic, transfers, open orders, supplier codes, and inventory reconciliation.

Common inventory and supply chain problems

  • Stock balances differ between systems
  • Teams cannot see stock availability across locations
  • Slow-moving and excess inventory is identified too late
  • Replenishment depends on manual spreadsheets
  • Supplier lead times and delays are difficult to measure consistently
  • Sales demand and inventory are reported separately
  • Warehouse, purchasing, and finance numbers do not reconcile cleanly
  • Management reporting is assembled manually every week or month

Stock ageing and slow-moving inventory

Make working-capital problems visible earlier

Ageing logic should follow the client's business rules and the way inventory value is recorded in the source systems.

  • Age buckets
  • Days since last movement

  • Dead stock indicators
  • Excess stock
  • Inventory value by age
  • Location / product comparison
Replenishment and reorder analytics

Support replenishment with demand, stock and lead-time context

  • Recent sales / demand velocity
  • Current available stock
  • Open purchase orders
  • Supplier lead time
  • Minimum / maximum levels
  • Safety-stock rules
  • Stock cover
  • Reorder exceptions

Supplier and purchasing analytics

Supplier scorecards should use definitions agreed with procurement and operations.

  • Purchase value and volume
  • Supplier concentration
  • Lead-time trends

  • Stockout frequency
  • Slow-moving stock
  • Location comparison

Sales and inventory alignment

Stock decisions improve when demand and availability are reported together

  • Sales velocity vs stock
