Knifestock - Intelligent Inventory Management for Multi-Market E-Commerce

Challenge

Multi-channel e-commerce. Online, marketplace, B2B, physical stores. 8+ European markets with planned rapid expansion.

Knifestock needed to build solid analytical environment for controlled growth. Based on a reference from Stahlmann, they contacted us with a clear vision.

Key need: Intelligent inventory management - critical factor for multi-market expansion.

When you sell thousands of SKUs through 4 channels in 8 countries, inventory decisions become complex:

• Too much inventory = tied capital
• Too little inventory = lost sales
• Optimal balance = competitive advantage

They needed an automated real-time solution.

Solution

Sales and Profitability Analytics

Direct connection of ERP Pohoda with e-shop platform RSHOP by RIESENIA and other systems.

Multi-channel view across online, marketplace, B2B and retail. Real-time profitability tracking at product, channel and country level.

Intelligent Inventory Management (our flagship solution for e-commerce)

Real-time analysis of every SKU:

• Current inventory vs. sales trends
• Dynamically calculated optimal quantities
• Automatic identification of SKUs to order
• Detection of slow-moving positions tying up capital

Result: Management sees at any moment not only what’s selling, but also how efficiently capital is allocated in inventory.

Real Impact

The system identified a product category with significantly excessive inventory in several countries - capital tied for 4-6 months of sales.

Action: Coordinated discount strategy for selected SKUs across markets.

Result:

• Resources released from inefficient inventory
• Capital reallocated to fast-rotating SKUs
• Support for expansion to new markets
• Cash flow impact: Significantly positive

Infrastructure scales with expansion - adding a new market doesn’t require system change, just configuration of new market view.

Transformation

Automated inventory management | Capital optimization tied in inventory | Multi-market expansion support | Real-time purchasing decisions

Before implementation:

• Quality ERP system, but only basic sales overview
• Manual inventory replenishment decisions based on intuition and historical patterns
• Unclear overview of capital in inventory
• Multi-market planning challenging

After implementation:

• Automated evaluation of every SKU in real-time
• Dynamic calculations of optimal inventory levels
• Active recommendations for purchasing decisions
• Real-time overview across 8+ markets and all channels

Management transitioned from reactive to proactive inventory management.
