Inventory Management That Keeps You Cutting
No More Tooling Surprises

Inventory headaches don’t just slow you down — they cost you production. CTIS helps machine shops stay ahead with inventory management programs that keep your tooling room stocked, organized, and predictable. We track usage, restock what matters, and make sure you’re never caught short on inserts, drills, MRO supplies, or critical components. No more scramble. No more blind spots. Just reliable inventory, tailored to your floor.
How It Works
Inventory doesn’t have to be a guessing game. CTIS takes the pressure off your team by managing the tools and supplies you rely on — right where you use them. We customize your inventory setup based on usage, machines, and production needs, then keep it stocked without the scramble.
On-Site Inventory Assessment
We start by walking your floor, reviewing current stock levels, tooling usage, and order history. Then we design a plan around what your operation actually needs.
Bin & Crib Management (VMI)
From cabinets to crib systems, we handle labeling, layout, and restock flow. You’ll always know what’s in stock — and what’s on the way.
Usage Tracking & Reporting
We track what’s moving and what’s not, so you’re not stuck with dead stock or surprise shortages. Want to keep costs under control? We’ve got the numbers to help you plan ahead.
Flexible Restocking
CTIS can restock on a schedule or on demand — whatever fits your workflow. We make sure the right tools are always in reach, without tying up cash in slow movers.
Emergency Coverage
Even with a plan in place, things happen. When you’re short mid-job, we deliver fast — no forms, no hassle.
Why It Matters
Inventory isn’t just about what’s on the shelf — it’s about uptime, cash flow, and control. CTIS helps you avoid overstocking, eliminate stockouts, and take the guesswork out of reordering. Here’s why our system works for shops that need to keep moving.
1) Fewer Stockouts, Less Downtime
When the right tools are always in reach, your machines stay cutting and your operators stay productive. No more stopping mid-job to chase inserts or end mills.
2) Smarter Purchasing Decisions
Usage tracking helps you see what’s moving and what’s not. That means less dead stock, fewer rush orders, and better spend management.
3) Lean, Controlled Inventory
We keep your tooling room lean — not bloated. That means lower on-hand cost without risking production.
4) Less Admin, More Uptime
Your team doesn’t need to chase POs, receipts, and tracking numbers. We handle it — you stay focused on the floor.
5) Support That Knows Your Workflow
This isn’t just a reorder service. Our reps understand your machines, your materials, and your priorities — so your inventory plan actually fits how you run.
6) Scalable for Any Shop
Whether you’ve got three machines or thirty, our system flexes with your growth — from small VMI setups to full crib programs.
