Jupa helps import-heavy distributors — especially electrical and industrial businesses — reduce cash tied up in excess stock and improve availability of important products. We quantify the exposure, install practical ordering controls, and help your own team keep the process working.
Structure · Rhythm · Clarity · Better decisions
Your fast movers — the items customers came for — keep hitting zero. Every empty slot is a sale walking to the competitor next door.
Meanwhile cash sits in excess and slow-moving stock — paid for months ago, not yet sold, gathering dust instead of working.
When excess stock and shortages happen at the same time, the total amount of stock is rarely the real issue. It usually points to gaps in ordering rules, planning ownership and product prioritisation — alongside real supplier, market and foreign-exchange pressures. The Diagnostic separates those causes using your own data, and shows what management can actually influence.
Free, about 45 minutes. An honest look at how inventory and ordering decisions work in your business today.
A written report quantifying — where your data supports it — the cash tied up in excess stock and the availability gaps on important products, with root causes, stated assumptions and a prioritised roadmap.
Practical inventory policies, ordering controls, a Planning Owner routine, a KPI dashboard and a monthly management review — installed with your team over 90 days, including two operate-and-transfer cycles.
After the 90-Day Program, the optional Planning Control Service keeps it working: monthly facilitation, KPI review against the agreed baseline, Planning Owner coaching, and review of risks, exceptions, parameters and actions.
“You pay an auditor every year to check your books. Think of the Diagnostic as a health check on how your inventory is bought and controlled — not a financial audit. Fixed fee. Your numbers.”
Electrical and industrial distributors in Kenya live and die by what's on the shelf. If you import most of your range, long replenishment lead times punish every ordering mistake twice — in both directions.
The fit is simple: hundreds or thousands of active items, imported stock, long lead times — and the feeling that both problems are true at once.
Jupa was founded by Elias Mohammed, a supply-chain planning professional with more than ten years of experience across inventory planning, integrated business planning and multinational supply chains.
His career began in the electrical industry, building power-supply units and control cabinets from imported components. That combination of hands-on product experience and multi-country planning leadership shapes Jupa's practical approach to electrical and industrial distributors.
Jupa is founder-led and senior-reviewed, with a defined methodology supporting consistent delivery as the firm grows.
Before operational data is shared, confidentiality and data-processing terms are agreed in writing. We are not auditors — we analyse item movement only; nothing is reconciled to declared figures. Your data is stored separately, accessible only to authorised personnel and approved service providers, used solely for the agreed engagement, and retained and deleted according to the agreed Data Processing Schedule, with written confirmation of deletion. Prefer not to share values? We can work in units only — your team applies your own prices at the final step.
Only in the way a health check is consulting. You're not buying a slide deck — you're buying practical ordering controls, installed with your team and measured against an agreed baseline.
No. You almost certainly have enough system already. We make your existing data make decisions. And because we don't sell software, we have no reason to push it.
No. Jupa designs and recommends the initial ordering controls, quality-assures their maintenance and facilitates the review process. Your team approves the parameters, places every order, manages every supplier and makes every commercial decision.
Fixed fees, quoted after a short conversation. 50% of the Inventory Cash & Availability Diagnostic fee is credited against a 90-Day Inventory Control Program commissioned within 30 days of the report being delivered.
A stock list and 12 months of sales by item, straight out of your system. Every Diagnostic starts with a short data-readiness check. Units only is fine: we analyse the quantities, and your team applies your own prices at the final step — so the shilling figures are computed inside your business, and your values never leave it.
No. Results depend on the quality of available data, the decisions you take and the consistency of implementation. Jupa does not guarantee a specific inventory reduction, cash release, sales recovery or service outcome — improvement is measured against an agreed baseline.
No operational data required, no preparation, no obligation. You'll leave with a clearer picture of how your business orders today — whether or not we ever work together.
