Supply & Demand Planning
Demand forecasting, inventory planning, and supply chain balancing for high-growth brands — building the systems that prevent stockouts, reduce excess inventory, and improve cash flow.
Poor Planning Is a Margin Problem, Not Just an Ops Problem
Inaccurate demand forecasting leads to stockouts that kill revenue and excess inventory that destroys cash flow and margin. For growing brands, the planning systems that worked at $2M often fail at $10M — and the gap between demand signals and supply response widens as complexity increases.
Patrick builds planning systems and disciplines that give operations teams the visibility and lead time to stay ahead of demand — rather than constantly reacting to it.
Inventory accuracy maintained across multi-site operations
YoY growth rates supported without service degradation
Locations managed with synchronized inventory systems
Channel supply planning across DTC, retail, and foodservice
Visibility First, Then Discipline
Built House-In-Order inventory systems across multi-site operations, maintaining 99.97% inventory accuracy over sustained periods. Accurate inventory data is the foundation of every other planning decision — and it requires both the right technology and the right operational discipline to sustain.
Designed demand planning processes for brands experiencing YoY growth rates of 15–90%, building the forecasting models and replenishment systems that prevent the stockout-overstock cycle that plagues fast-growing businesses.
Managed supply chain planning across multiple channels simultaneously — DTC subscription cadences, retail replenishment cycles, and foodservice contract volumes — each with different demand patterns and lead time requirements.
Implemented WMS and OMS platforms that provide real-time inventory visibility across locations, enabling faster cycle counts, earlier exception identification, and more confident procurement decisions.

Is Inventory Planning Costing You More Than It Should?
Stockouts, excess inventory, and poor visibility are fixable. Let's talk about building a system that works.
