Our Story

GoodStock was born from a simple observation: while working at McKinsey & Company, we saw how advanced inventory optimization could transform companies' operations and profitability. However, these sophisticated techniques were only accessible to large corporations with massive consulting budgets.

We founded GoodStock in Chicago with a mission to democratize world-class inventory optimization. By combining our McKinsey consulting experience with modern AI and software engineering, we've created solutions that deliver enterprise-grade results at a fraction of the cost.

Today, we're proud to serve operations leaders at companies ranging from $200M to $5B in revenue, helping them achieve the same level of inventory optimization that was previously reserved for Fortune 500 companies.
