Trapped inventory working capital strains corporate balance sheets, while stockouts destroy customer loyalty. Keystone Solutions deploys advanced multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) models, dynamic safety buffer policies, and freight routing governance to maximize working capital velocity and fulfillment certainty.
