Case Study: Karl K. Karlsson improves service levels and boosts turnover with AGR Dynamics

Reducing workload at Karl K Karlsson

Karl K. Karlsson, a leading Icelandic wholesale and distribution company based in Reykjavík, managed over 5,000 SKUs and relied on Microsoft Dynamics AX for purchasing and inventory planning. Its challenge was that buying decisions were based on manually adjusted min/max parameters, which became outdated, consumed too much staff time, and led to high stock levels and uneven service levels.

To solve this, AGR Dynamics implemented AGR Inventory Optimiser, which automatically recalculates forecasts, safety stocks, and order proposals at optimized intervals, while also sending exception reports for unusual stock movements. The result was a 40% average increase in turnover ratios, improved service levels, less time spent on purchasing, better supplier collaboration, and a faster payback on the investment, with AGR Dynamics also giving management better overview and more advanced planning than AX alone.
