Demand Planning & Inventory Advisory
Better forecasts. Healthier inventory. More working capital.
Newtown Analytics helps growing consumer, luxury, beauty, and specialty-product companies improve demand forecasting, optimize inventory, and build planning processes that support profitable growth.
Stop guessing what to buy. Start knowing where your inventory dollars should go.
Is your inventory working for you — or against you?
Growing product companies often face the same challenges.
- Forecasts that consistently miss actual demand
- Too much inventory in the wrong products
- Stockouts on products that drive revenue
- Excess inventory tying up valuable cash
- Sales and supply chain working from different assumptions
- Replenishment decisions based on outdated rules
- Reports that describe what happened but don't explain why
- Planning processes that depend too heavily on spreadsheets and manual work
These aren't just supply-chain problems. They're profitability problems.
What we do
Inventory Health & Optimization
Understand exactly where your inventory investment is working — and where it isn't. We analyze SKU-level inventory, velocity, weeks of supply, turns, excess inventory, and stockout exposure to find opportunities to reduce working capital without sacrificing availability.

Build forecasting processes that are more accurate, measurable, and actionable. We evaluate methodology, bias, error, seasonality, trends, SKU behavior, and commercial overrides to identify why forecasts are missing and how to improve them.
Learn moreS&OP / IBP Advisory
Bring sales, finance, operations, and supply chain around the same numbers. We develop practical S&OP/IBP processes, planning calendars, KPI frameworks, and executive reporting.
