Seven days. One clear plan. Free.
Apply in a few minutes. We sign an NDA, look at your real data, and hand you a written action plan. Below, Mo tells what two real trials found. Names and numbers stay private.
What you get in seven days
- A mutual NDA before you share anything.
- A guided data checklist so we only ask for what matters.
- Two working sessions: a deep dive, then the plan.
- A written action plan with findings and next steps.
Trial 1 · Consumer electronics, sourced from Japan
A retro console reseller paying twice on every shipment
Read the full case study
A US business that refurbishes and sells retro game consoles and replacement parts, sourced from suppliers in Japan and sold on Amazon. One person ran all of inbound.
Where they were stuck
- Not sure how close they were to filling a full container from Japan.
- Suspected duty was being charged on ocean freight.
- Replacement screens felt expensive, with no clear way to bring the price down.
What we looked at
A full procurement data room: customs entry summaries, supplier invoices and packing lists, payment history, freight charges and monthly screen volumes, covering every recent sailing.
What we found
- The customs broker had charged duty on ocean freight for some entries. That money is recoverable.
- One supplier split each sailing into two shipments, so entry, terminal and delivery fees were paid twice.
- The second supplier shipped on its own at a much higher cost per kilo.
- Replacement screens were costing roughly double the wholesale price.
- A full container only pays off at several times their current volume, and repair capacity is the real limit.
What we recommended
- File corrections on the affected customs entries and deduct freight on every future entry.
- One shipment per sailing, and combine both suppliers into a single monthly shared container through a forwarder in Japan.
- Run a sourcing sprint for replacement screens, and pilot new supply before scaling.
Where it stands
The founder agreed to the single combined shipping lane and chose to grow supply to reach container volume. Move has proposed a three-month setup phase to put the plan in place.
Trial 2 · Natural personal care, New Zealand
A natural personal care brand heading for a stockout it could not see
Read the full case study
A New Zealand natural personal care brand selling on its own website and through stockists, recently expanded into Australia. A solo founder coordinating several packaging and filling vendors.
Where they were stuck
- Lead times of three to four months and no forecasting system, which had already caused stockouts.
- A packaging change that would sharply raise minimum order quantities.
- A new product, a new country and packaging projects all landing at once, with no QC checks before shipping.
What we looked at
Most of the trial data checklist in the first four days: landed cost model, order history, demand by market, supplier lead times and quotes, inventory on hand and in transit, the shipping plan and a month of 3PL invoices.
What we found
- A stockout window was coming for the main product early next year, because new packaging takes longer to arrive than current stock will last.
- Packaging was being bought the wrong way round: containers were overstocked while refill parts ran short.
- Fill runs were landing just under the filler’s price breaks.
- Freight was under-costed in the cost model, and one shipment of boxes went by air when it could have gone by sea.
- Avoidable fees were showing up on the 3PL invoice.
- Every supplier was a single source, with no backup for the most critical one.
What we recommended
- Book the next fill slot now and bring in an early batch of packaging to close the stockout gap.
- Make the next packaging order refills only, and size fill runs to hit the price breaks.
- Fix the cost model, cut the avoidable 3PL fees and qualify a second packaging source.
Where it stands
The founder received a written ten-step plan with the first four moves due within a week. Move has offered a paid continuation to carry it out.
Your turn
- The application takes a few minutes.
- We reply with next steps and the NDA.
- Then seven days to a written plan.
