Inventory Solutions
Falcon’s global inventory solutions add value across every stage of our clients’ supply chains.
Our supply chain solutions reduce our clients’ costs, increase their liquidity and the efficiency of their balance sheets, and enhance customer-supplier relations – all while maximising supply chain security, providing the ultimate in a resilient supply chain.
Wherever goods are in your supply chain, from transit, storage, outbound or with a contract manufacturer, our modular solution can be applied at any point to deliver high-impact results in a non-disruptive manner.
We tailor solutions to meet the demands of today and the future.
Pre-Shipment
Improve liquidity and reduce costs on purchase of inventory. Create value by leveraging existing commercial terms with suppliers.
Transit
Falcon holds inventory during transit and offers extended payment terms to help improve the efficiency of working capital.
Storage
Secure the supply chain, cut capital costs, and improve relationships with suppliers. Falcon provides centralised vendor-managed inventory, typically more cost effective than existing arrangements. In addition, we own buffer stock while allowing agility by paying only for what is used and when.
Outbound
Achieve true sale of goods, generate immediate cash inflow and strengthen customer relationships. Falcon purchases from and pays the supplier upfront, then owns the inventory until it’s required by the end customer.
How we integrate
Falcon seamlessly integrates into a client’s supply chain, ensuring a smooth and non-disruptive process. We cover raw materials, WIP, finished goods and MRO.
