Spotlight

Inventory is where lighting margins quietly disappear — capital tied up in stock, warehouse space consumed, and demand swings that leave you over- or under-stocked. MES’s inventory reduction and control strategies have helped lighting manufacturers cut inventory from 60 days down to just 3 — freeing cash and floor space without risking a stockout.
