Supply chain & operations

Your best sellers keep running out. Your cash is in the slow ones.

We find the money trapped in your stock, then put in the system that stops it happening again. For consumer brands turning over £10–20M.

Three questions. One number.

Thirty minutes, no charge and no pitch. We ask three things and give you a working figure for how much of your cash is sitting in stock, and roughly where. You keep the number whether or not anything else happens.

01

What's your revenue?

02

What's your stock worth at cost on an average day?

03

How often does a top-ten product go out of stock?

Then we do the arithmetic out loud. Most brands at this size are carrying four months of stock while running out of the lines that actually sell. That combination is not a buying problem or a forecasting problem — it's both, and it's usually worth several hundred thousand pounds.

What we can't tell you in thirty minutes is which of those days are genuinely removable. That's what the audit is for.

Fit

Who this works for

We'd rather tell you early that it isn't for you than find out in month three.

A good fit

  • Consumer products — food, drink, wellness, beauty, household, pet
  • £10–20M turnover, trading at least two years
  • Selling across two or more channels: Amazon, your own site, TikTok Shop, retail
  • Between 10 and 150 SKUs
  • Importing, or manufacturing to order with real lead times
  • Data scattered across several places — but somebody owns each piece

Not a fit

  • Under £5M — the numbers don't work for either of us yet
  • Fashion with size and colour variants running into the thousands
  • Anyone who actually wants an ERP, with a ledger and payments
  • Businesses where nobody owns the numbers and nothing is current
  • Services, or anything without physical stock
How it works

Four steps, and you can stop after any of them

Step one The review

Thirty minutes. Three questions and a working figure for the cash in your stock.

FreeNo obligation either way
Step two The audit

A week examining how you record, order and move stock — what's automated, what isn't, and who owns each number. You get a health reading, a prioritised list of fixes, and templates you keep.

£3,500Credited in full against step three
Step three Onboarding

We connect your channels and data to our control tower, map your products, set up who sees what, and train each team.

From £6,000Waived on a twelve-month term
Step four Running it

The system runs continuously. You get two days a month of our time — a monthly strategy session, fortnightly reviews, and someone to call when a decision needs making.

The instrument

One place for stock, orders and cash

The control tower sits on top of what you already use. We don't replace your systems, migrate anything, or ask your team to work differently — it reads from your channels, your spreadsheets and your accounts, and tells you what to do next.

What to order, and when

Reorder quantities and timing per SKU, with lead time split into production, transit and clearance rather than one blended guess.

Where every unit is

On order, in production, on the water, at customs, at the 3PL, at the marketplace. One state per unit, so nothing is counted twice or missed.

Ship now or hold

Storage cost against stock-out risk against capital tied up, calculated per shipment instead of argued about.

When your numbers stop agreeing

Automatic reconciliation across every source. It tells you which two places disagree and by how much, rather than quietly averaging them.

Approval before money moves

Releasing an order and verifying it against budget are separate permissions held by separate people, with every decision recorded.

Named ownership

Every manual input has an owner, and the system chases them when a figure goes stale instead of silently using an old one.

You get access, not a handover The control tower stays ours and we run it, which means no implementation project, no licence to negotiate and nothing for your team to maintain. Your data stays yours in every sense — full export within ten working days if you ever leave, and we delete our copies within thirty.
Who you'd be working with

Built from doing the job, not advising on it

ANMD Square is led by Arjun Karnad. Six years running supply chain and logistics for a UK consumer brand importing from Asia into the UK, EU and US — purchase planning, freight, customs, 3PL management and the working capital behind all of it.

Over that time he designed and built the forecasting and reorder system that business still runs its purchasing on. The control tower is that method, rebuilt properly and brought to businesses that can't justify a full-time director.

What you get is someone who has placed the orders, argued with the factory, paid the demurrage and explained the stock-out — rather than someone who has read about it.

Thirty minutes, three questions, and a number you can act on. No pitch, no obligation, and you keep the figure either way.
