Welcome to CE Inventory Solutions… Cost Effective Assistance for Small Business!

Inventory is the stock your business might Buy, Produce, Store, Use or Sell.
Managing inventory is a considerable challenge for businesses of all sizes.

Small to Medium Enterprises (SME’s) usually encounter MORE problems than their larger counterparts, mainly because of less experienced staff and smaller operating budgets to control their issues. SME’s tend to carry more stock, have less turn-over, less buying power, and therefore significantly more RISK.

Don’t Feel “Controlled By” Your Stock!

Are you a small business owner / manager who is lost, overwhelmed or confused when it comes to inventory issues? Perhaps you are a business advisor, coach, accountant or bookkeeper? Do you want to better understand stock control issues, or to solve your own or your client’s problems?

Inventory is a necessity to many businesses, but like cash, it needs to be Controlled and Planned for. Many SME owners and managers are sceptical (and sometimes even defiant) that inventory can be considered as a source of significant business improvement.

In your business, your accountant / bookkeeper might tell you the financial impact of inventory, but this is just the visible tip of the iceberg. They are showing you the end result. But can you identify the causes?
Can you solve these issues without causing even more problems?

Imagine if you could tap into a source of this wisdom, and tailor it especially for YOUR Business? Now you have the opportunity to engage OUR EXPERIENCE… and only as much as you require!

Avoid the Traps!
With so many other considerations all demanding your valuable time, attention and resources, many SME’s manage inventory with only basic or minimal skills, resources and attention. This is usually limited to hard-earned experience, the capability of their accounting software, and a limited budget. Then they take the Inventory Easy Path… only having a “Buy, Hold and Sell” Mentality.

This means they simply Buy, and Hold until Sold, possibly applying only a standard mark-up to their purchase cost to achieve a desirable sale price.
There is no further consideration of other issues… until they feel PAIN!

Are you Thriving, Surviving or Sky-Diving?
The difference between Thriving and Surviving results from correctly applied knowledge and skill. Remember the proverb… You reap what you sow!

Sky-Diving is the thrill of increasing revenue or growth in your business, but losing sight of increasing costs, dwindling profits, or drops in customer satisfaction and repeat sales. Stock levels become erratic, increasing back orders and reactive purchasing. Staff and customer complaints also increase. You are actually plummeting toward a hard and unpleasant situation. To avoid the crash landing, you need to Gain Control…
