Inventory Optimization: Protect cash and on-time delivery

Safety stock builds because telling a customer "no" costs more than holding it. Pelico ties live inventory to the production it serves, so every defer, cancel, or rebalance decision carries its delivery impact.

Why inventory keeps growing

Finance decides on last month's numbers

Does finance know which open POs production still needs?

One plant's excess is another plant's shortage

How often does one site buy a part that sits idle at another?

Safety-stock rules don't flex with demand

How much of your stock is buffer for demand that's already gone?

CAPABILITIES

What Pelico gives finance and supply chain teams

The Inventory Optimization solution runs on Pelico's Manufacturing Orchestration Platform. It's live inventory tied to the production it serves, with every decision that releases cash ranked by what it does to delivery.

Made for: Inventory Managers · Buyers · Procurement Managers · Finance Controllers · Supply Chain Directors · VPs of Operations

Financial exposure monitoring

Inventory value and excess exposure by SKU and site, with blocked and aged WIP included. Days inventory outstanding (DIO) is tracked in the same place, so finance works from the number it already reports.

Open order triage: defer, cancel, or keep

Every open purchase order (PO) and requisition (PR) ranked by cash exposure against delivery risk. Defer a PO, and its delivery consequence is on the same line.

Multi-site inventory rebalancing

Stock transfer recommendations and multi-site pegging find parts idle at one plant that another plant is about to buy. Each transfer is simulated against downstream demand before you commit.

Obsolescence prevention

Stock projected forward against demand-flexed signals, so excess and obsolete inventory comes up while there's still time to act.

AI that can weigh every open PO against production

Pelico's AI agents trace each open PO to the orders it serves, flag the ones you can defer or cancel without hurting delivery, and coordinate stock transfers between plants.

FAQ

Tie each inventory decision to the production it supports. Stock covering a near-term order stays; stock with no demand behind it is a candidate to defer, cancel, or move. In Pelico, every open order carries both its cash exposure and its delivery impact.

MEIO sets target stock levels across the network, inside planning and usually on forecasts. It doesn't decide what to do with the orders and stock you hold when production shifts this week. Pelico covers that 0–90 day execution window, alongside your planning tool.

Peg stock and demand across every site, not plant by plant, so a part idle at one plant counts as supply for the next one to order it. Pelico recommends stock transfer orders across sites and simulates each against the orders it would affect.
