About Us
About InventoryMetrix
InventoryMetrix brings together years of senior-level inventory planning, and demand forecasting experience — made accessible to growing product-based businesses. We’re on a mission to make smart inventory planning more about data-backed processes.
Founded in 2024, Inventory Metrix was born from a simple belief: **every retailer deserves expert inventory planning guidance**, even if they don’t have a full-time forecasting or planning team. We saw how many ecommerce brands were left behind by expensive software, unreliable assumptions, or lack of affordable professional services. So, we’re here to bridge that gap.
Our Philosophy
At InventoryMetrix, we believe inventory isn’t just a balance sheet line item — it’s the backbone of your business. Poor inventory decisions can erode margin, frustrate customers, and hurt your brand reputation. But with rigorous planning, transparent reporting, and the right human touch, inventory becomes a powerful lever for growth, not risk.
We blend powerful, data-driven forecasting software with hands-on strategic planning to build solutions that are tailored to your business — not cookie-cutter. Our approach gives you access to senior planning expertise without the overhead of hiring full-time inventory planners. That means you get smart inventory decisions without overpaying or being locked out of quality professional and technical services.
Who We Are
Our team brings 6+ years of combined inventory and forecast demand planning experience, working across global retailers, e-commerce brands, and startup ventures. We’re a flexible, distributed crew built around shared values: expertise, empathy, and empowerment.
Many of us are parents or side-preneurs. We work across different time zones, schedules, and life rhythms — but we’re united by our commitment to helping our clients scale confidently. This flexibility doesn’t just fuel our culture; it strengthens our results. Why? Because we know that life and business don’t always run on a 9-to-5 clock.
