Consolidating shipments sounds simple: combine small orders into fuller loads and cut costs.

In practice, it changes freight, stock, systems and the service your customers receive, all at once.

Set it up poorly and the savings can disappear.

Get it right and deliveries become faster and more reliable.

Our guide, 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲, covers what consolidation involves, where it pays off, and what to plan for before you make a move.

If you're reviewing your network, read it before you commit.

Is your stock spread across more sites than it needs to be?

Why are manufacturers carrying less stock?

New Zealand beverage manufacturers generated 54% more revenue year on year while holding 53% less inventory. It looks efficient from outside the warehouse, but potentially precarious from within it.

Similar inventory reductions appear throughout this quarter’s Manufacturing Health Index. Stock fell 79% among Australian industrial machinery manufacturers, 72% in New Zealand building and construction, and 70% in the equivalent UK sector.

The figures describe a broad movement towards leaner inventories. They do not tell us whether every business is becoming more efficient.

For some manufacturers, carrying less stock may reflect a deliberate decision to release cash, reduce storage costs and stop replenishing products that move slowly. For others, it may reflect weaker demand and lower purchasing. In sectors where revenue is growing, reduced stock may leave businesses with less protection against supplier delays, shipping disruption or an unexpected surge in orders.

Australian industrial machinery illustrates the first risk. Revenue fell 50% year on year while stock dropped 79%.

New Zealand beverages presents a more complicated picture. Revenue rose 54% while stock fell 53%. Stronger sales supported by less inventory can indicate impressive stock productivity. It can also narrow the margin for error if demand continues and replenishment cannot keep pace.

The distinction cannot be found in the stock figure alone. Manufacturers also need to know which products are moving, which are sitting, how quickly suppliers can replenish them and whether individual product lines remain profitable.

The objective is to carry enough of the right stock to meet demand without trapping cash in products that will not sell.

A falling inventory number is a fact. Whether it signals efficiency, contraction or increasing exposure depends on the business behind it.

Only one manufacturing sector recorded revenue growth across the UK, Australia and New Zealand in the latest Manufacturing Health Index: personal care.

Revenue increased 32% in the UK, 85% in Australia and 46% in New Zealand year on year. In a dataset containing several sharp contractions, that consistency stands out.

What is driving personal care’s resilience? Are consumers protecting spending on everyday personal-care products? Are smaller luxuries holding their appeal when larger purchases feel harder to justify? The data cannot answer that, so we’d like to hear your theories in the comments.

What it does show is that manufacturers are supporting this growth with very different inventory strategies.

UK personal care manufacturers are generating more revenue while carrying 42% less stock than a year ago. In Australia, where personal care recorded the strongest revenue growth of any sector across the three markets, stock increased 25%. New Zealand manufacturers increased stock by 58% alongside 46% revenue growth.

The common challenge is profitability. Gross margins fell across all three markets: 22% in the UK, 4% in Australia and 5% in New Zealand.

Personal care manufacturers are growing, but higher revenue is not automatically producing stronger margins. Managing that growth means balancing product availability with the cost and cash-flow implications of carrying more inventory.

What do you think is behind personal care’s resilience-and can the sector sustain it profitably?

Walk into any conversation about construction right now and you'll hear two things simultaneously: the market is terrible, and it's about to turn. In the April–June quarter, building and construction manufacturers across all three markets we track were sitting on dramatically less stock than a year ago; -70% in the UK, -72% in New Zealand, 35% in Australia. Revenue followed: down 48%, 41% and 44% respectively.

Research into the pipeline data tells a more complicated story. UK construction new orders fell 11.8% in the quarter even as overall output edged higher than Q1 (ons.gov.uk). Australian dwelling approvals rose 7.2% in June, reaching their highest annual total since 2020-21 (abs.gov.au). New Zealand building activity rose 4.8% in the quarter, the first positive annual comparison in two and a half years (stats.govt.nz).

But approvals are permissions, not orders. A dwelling approval does not put materials on a truck. The gap between a consent being granted and a manufacturer receiving a purchase order can be six months, sometimes longer. And in the meantime, purchase orders in the sector are still falling - down 31% year on year in the UK, 50% in Australia, 47% in New Zealand. The pipeline is showing early signs of life. The factory floor has not felt it yet.
That gap is where the real decision lives. Manufacturers who cut inventory too aggressively now risk being unable to supply when demand does return - and in construction, when it returns, it tends to return quickly. Those who hold on too long tie up cash through an extended downturn with no guarantee of timing.

Which is the bigger risk right now: holding too much stock through a weak market, or cutting too deeply before demand returns?

We're heading to OpsFest 26 on 8th October - and we can't wait.

As headline partner, we get a front row seat to some of the best ops and supply chain conversations happening in UK challenger brands right now. The brands that come together at this event know first-hand what poor inventory visibility costs them - and that's exactly the conversation we love being part of.

Daniel Cohen, Josh Lunn-Scott and Josie Payne will be there representing the Unleashed team. If you're going, come and find them - they'd love to chat.

See you there 👋
