Case Study: Mainstream Fiber Networks achieves 48+ hours/month time savings and unified procurement & inventory with Bellwether

Mainstream Fiber Ousts Procurify and Barcloud for Bellwether EPMX

Mainstream Fiber Networks, a 100% fiber ISP serving over 8,000 homes across rural Indiana, faced growing pains as it expanded to multiple locations. The company was juggling procurement in Procurify and inventory in BarCloud, causing inconsistent counts across three sites, frequent reconciliation work (8–10 hours weekly), and slowed service completion — so they needed a single, easy-to-use system that could maintain accurate, real-time visibility and scale with their growth.

Mainstream Fiber implemented Bellwether ePMX to unify purchasing and inventory, migrate historical data, and integrate with QuickBooks. The platform now tracks purchase orders, quotes, vendors, invoices and over 1,000 items (600+ part numbers) across three locations, eliminating reconciliation errors and saving 48+ hours (~$1,200) per month. The result is improved accuracy, faster workflows, better visibility for all teams, and greater confidence to scale the business.
