Case Study: Sunbeam Foods achieves near-perfect fill rates with BrainSell Technologies and Sage Inventory Advisor

How Inventory Data Fuels Success in the Distribution Sector

Sunbeam Foods, a family-owned food distributor in Dallas, faced significant inventory management challenges. Using Sage 100 Perpetual, their manual processes led to a low 84% fill rate, high backorders, and over 40% excess inventory, which damaged customer satisfaction and deterred sales growth. Seeking to optimize their technology, they partnered with BrainSell Technologies for a solution.

BrainSell implemented Sage 100c and Sage Inventory Advisor, which automated purchasing and provided critical data analysis. This solution from BrainSell enabled Sunbeam Foods to boost their fill rate to over 99% and reduce excess inventory by 55% within just seven months. The dramatic improvement freed up capital, eliminated backorders, and gave the sales team the confidence to pursue new business.
