Inventory and investment ROI
Know what to buy, what to subrent and what to stop paying for.
Gear, trucks and warehouse space are the biggest checks a production company writes, and they’re often written on gut feel. Every purchase should have a payback you can see in advance.
You’ll recognise this
Signs this is holding your company back
- —Big purchases made because a competitor has one
- —Subrenting the same items every month
- —Expenses that keep creeping up with nobody checking the return
- —Gear that rarely leaves the shelf
What I do
What the work usually includes
- Utilization review for your inventory, trucks and space
- Subrental spend and what it would take to own instead
- Payback and return modeled for each planned purchase
- Expense review: what to keep, renegotiate or cut
- A capital plan that ranks purchases by return
What changes
Capital going to the investments that return the most.
Only if it’s right for your company. The consultation is where we decide whether this area belongs in your plan — and what to leave out.
