Business Challenges

Every company, no matter its size or industry, faces structural challenges that quietly erode profitability and limit growth. These challenges are often invisible at first, hidden in spreadsheets, sales reports, or day-to-day operations. Left unchecked, they grow into risks that consume cash, weaken competitiveness, and block sustainable expansion.

At Köj Consulting, we’ve seen firsthand how inventory inefficiencies, weak commercial planning, and lack of financial visibility can undermine even the most promising businesses. These are not just operational problems—they are strategic threats that impact liquidity, profitability, and long-term survival.

By identifying these challenges early and addressing them with data-driven, agile solutions, companies can unlock trapped value, stabilize performance, and accelerate growth.

Inventory Management & Optimization

The challenge

Many businesses lose profitability due to poor inventory visibility and control. Excess stock ties up capital, while shortages damage sales and customer trust. Traditional systems often fail to balance turnover with availability, creating inefficiencies across the supply chain.

Typical Pain Points

  • Excess working capital trapped in slow-moving SKUs.

  • High stock-outs leading to lost revenue and dissatisfied clients.

  • Lack of real-time data to forecast demand accurately.

  • Rising storage, logistics, and carrying costs.

Risks if not Addressed

  • Capital Drain: Liquidity locked in obsolete inventory reduces ability to invest or expand.

  • Erosion of Margins: Storage, spoilage, and markdowns eat into profitability.

  • Customer Loss: Frequent stock-outs push clients toward competitors.

  • Operational Inefficiency: Supply chain bottlenecks slow down growth and scaling.

Commercial Planning

The challenge

Companies frequently operate without a clear, data-backed commercial strategy. This results in missed revenue opportunities, poorly defined sales targets, and marketing investments that don’t translate into measurable results.

Typical Pain Points

  • Sales forecasts disconnected from market reality.

  • Lack of alignment between sales, marketing, and operations.

  • Inefficient pricing strategies and discount policies.

  • No clear visibility into ROI of commercial initiatives.

Risks if not Addressed

  • Revenue Instability: Volatile sales cycles and unpredictable cash inflows.

  • Misallocated Resources: Budgets wasted on low-impact initiatives.

  • Weak Market Positioning: Competitors with better planning take market share.

  • Low Team Alignment: Departments work in silos, limiting overall performance.

Finance & Cash Flow Management

The challenge

Finance is often treated as a compliance function rather than a strategic tool. Many businesses lack robust financial planning and visibility, making it difficult to project cash flows, evaluate investments, or prepare for financing.

Typical Pain Points

  • Limited control over liquidity and working capital.

  • Weak or absent financial models for decision-making.

  • Difficulty aligning financial performance with strategic goals.

  • Reactive responses to financing needs instead of proactive planning.

Risks if not Addressed

  • Liquidity Crises: Inability to cover payroll, suppliers, or debt obligations.

  • Costly Financing: Forced to accept unfavorable credit terms due to weak planning.

  • Missed Growth Opportunities: Lack of capital to seize expansion or investment chances.

  • Business Fragility: A single financial shock (currency swings, interest hikes, sales drop) can destabilize the company.
