Most organizations are sitting on a silent balance-sheet problem:excess & obsolete (E&O) inventory that depreciates every quarter and rarely recovers meaningful value. SKU Surfer part of Revlogix was built for one purpose: To turn E&O into money. Fast, predictable, measurable money.

• Not theories.
• Not sustainability hype.
• Not “circular economy” marketing.

Just financial wins, backed by data and delivered through a tool built for operators.

What SKU Surfer Actually Does (Financially)

1. Identifies High-Value Builds in Seconds

No more guessing which SKUs are economically viable.
SKU Surfer runs your inventory against reverse BOMs and shows:

• Exact build cost

• Projected resale value

• Expected margin

• Availability of missing parts

It essentially simulates the economics of every SKU you could build — and isolates the ones that drive profit.

Result: You only invest labor and parts where the margin justifies it.

2. Converts Dormant Parts Into Immediate Revenue

SKU Surfer analyzes which components:

• can be harvested to complete viable builds

• can be sold directly into the open market

• should be scrapped to free up space and avoid further depreciation

Result: Cash flow increases, and warehouse carrying costs drop.

3. Reduces RMA Waste and Misdiagnosis Losses

RMA mistakes are expensive.
Wrong diagnosis = wrong part usage = wasted labor = customer dissatisfaction = returns.

SKU Surfer integrates with Tallgrass AIA agents (“Hungry Man”), which:

• read test bench reports

• score the probable failure point

• recommend the lowest-cost repair path

• reduce unnecessary part swaps

Result: Lower repair cost, lower return rates, higher margin retention.

4. Improves Forecasting of Parts Demand

Because SKU Surfer sees BOM compatibility and E&O patterns across millions of datapoints, it can predict:

• which parts will spike in demand

• which parts are about to become obsolete

• when repair volumes will require part allocation

• when to buy, when to hold, when to liquidate

Result: Smarter purchasing, better inventory turns, fewer financial surprises.

Why OEMs and ITADs Adopt SKU Surfer

Not for branding.
Not for messaging.
Not for ESG reports.

They adopt it because it makes or saves them money, repeatedly and predictably.

✔ Higher recovery value on E&O

Clients see immediate increases in monetized inventory.

✔ Better use of constrained parts

SKU Surfer finds profitable build paths no human can see manually.

✔ Lower RMA and repair costs

AIA-driven insights cut labor hours and component waste.

✔ Cleaner financial reporting

Clearer cost-per-build, margin per SKU, and re-commerce ROI.

✔ More accurate annual planning

Forecasting becomes grounded in real parts behavior, not intuition.

The Real Value Proposition

SKU Surfer gives operational and financial leaders:

• Clarity on what is worth building

• Confidence in margin projections

• Control over E&O, RMA, and recommerce

• Cash flow from inventory that was previously ignored

• Continuity — repeatable, data-driven wins

This is not theoretical ROI.
This is recoverable value already sitting in your warehouse, waiting to be unlocked.
