Execute your OKRs with profit.co

Six steps that turn your goals into scored, visible outcomes every quarter.

  1. Create your OKRs

    Set objectives and key results at corporate, department, team, and individual levels. Profit.co's AI Authoring drafts high-quality OKRs in seconds, ready for you to refine.

  2. Align goals across every team

    Cascade corporate OKRs down to departments, teams, and individuals. The alignment view shows every owner exactly how their key results contribute to the company's priorities.

  3. Assign owners and automate check-ins

    Give every key result an owner and a check-in frequency. Automated reminders prompt owners to update progress, status, and comments, so nothing slips between reviews.

  4. Track progress with live dashboards

    Heatmaps, confidence scores, and status charts show progress at a glance. Switch between eight OKR views, from Gantt to hierarchy, to suit every stakeholder's needs.

  5. Review and course-correct mid-quarter

    Confidence-based statuses flag at-risk key results automatically. AI Summaries turn check-ins into concise review notes, so you can decide what to accelerate, escalate, or rework.

  6. Reflect and reset

    Answer reflection questions at quarter-end to capture what worked well. Then reset each key result for next quarter: continue, modify, or complete and close it.

Who is this for

Built for the supply-chain, planning, and finance roles that own inventory and working capital in a manufacturing operation.

  • Inventory Manager

    Owns the turns and cycle-count KRs, driving the day-to-day accuracy and velocity of the stock the plant holds.

  • Materials Planner

    Owns excess-stock and reorder-policy KRs, tuning the parameters that keep inventory lean without stocking out.

  • Supply Chain Analyst

    Owns the DIO KR, analysing where inventory sits too long and which SKUs drive days-outstanding up.

  • Supply Chain Manager

    Owns the inventory-to-revenue KR, balancing service levels against the working capital tied up in stock.

  • Finance Business Partner

    Owns holding-cost and obsolescence KRs, tying inventory decisions to the working capital and write-offs finance books.

  • Operations Director

    Owns the dead-stock KR and reviews the full inventory scorecard, holding the site accountable for working-capital targets.

Why teams use this template

Owned goals, measurable targets, and progress every stakeholder can see.

  • Turn inventory faster to free cash

    A turns KR makes velocity a shared target, converting slow-moving stock back into deployable working capital instead of leaving it parked on the balance sheet.

  • Put a cost on holding inventory

    A holding-cost KR exposes the storage, insurance, and capital cost of stock, so reducing inventory is measured in money saved rather than just units cut.

  • Catch obsolescence before it is written off

    Tracking obsolescence and dead stock as KRs surfaces slow movers early, giving the team time to sell or return them before they become a write-off.

  • Align supply chain and finance on working capital

    Assigning KRs across planning and finance ties inventory decisions to the working-capital numbers leadership tracks, ending the split between service and cash.
