Case Study: Mainstream Fiber Networks achieves unified real-time inventory visibility and $8K/month savings with Bellwether

Mainstream Fiber Networks - Customer Case Study

Mainstream Fiber Networks, founded by Bryan Gabriel, delivers 100% fiber gigabit internet to rural Indiana and now serves over 8,000 homes. As the company expanded across three locations, it struggled with inventory and procurement visibility—tracking more than 1,000 items (600+ part numbers) across separate systems led to frequent discrepancies, slowed service completion, and cost 8–10 hours of weekly reconciliation work.

Bellwether implemented an all‑in‑one procurement and inventory system—consolidating purchase orders, quotes, vendor logins, invoices and real‑time inventory with QuickBooks integration and migration of legacy data. The result: roughly $8K/month saved by eliminating reconciliation errors, unified tracking of 1,000+ items across three sites, improved visibility into orders and budgets, and greater accuracy and scalability for future growth.
