You can bring us an inventory challenge, a software project, or both. We can improve a planning model, build a business application, or connect the systems you already use.

When the work overlaps, we connect the plan to the process: turning decisions into workflows, keeping records in sync, and giving your team fewer tasks to repeat by hand.

Jonathan E.
CEO, Nuzest USA
“I worked with Pablo when I needed a complex spreadsheet solution for an integrated sales forecast and margin calculations across a large number of SKUs. While I’ve used Excel since it was created, I did not have the skills for the more complex formulas and functions that would make the spreadsheet function optimally. Pablo grasped the issues and created the solutions in a relatively small number of hours. That tool was helpful to my company for several years.”

Owner, Dinasty Spirits
“Our company has been partnering with Stearns Consulting for several years now to support our clients with their Inventory Management needs. What started out as a one-time engagement evolved into a long term relationship due to their exceptional reliability and in-depth excel modeling expertise.”
