Why It Matters
Inventory sits where almost everything you care about collides — profit, cash flow, doctor preference, client convenience, and cost of goods. It's one of the few places a practice can look healthy on paper and still have real money sitting perfectly still.
For most practices, cost of goods runs 20–25% of revenue — yet plenty quietly drift to 30–35%, and inventory is almost always the lever that closes that gap. A shelf full of "just in case" is a savings account you opened by accident, and can't easily withdraw from.
The goal was never less inventory. It's the right inventory — turning fast enough, with no silent pile-up.
