Case Study: Systagenix achieves 15% inventory reduction with ToolsGroup SO99+

Systagenix - Customer Case Study

Systagenix, a wound care product manufacturer, faced significant challenges with its SAP APO system, which required excessive manual data manipulation to generate forecasts. This process was unsustainable for maintaining the 98% service levels required for patient care while managing lean inventories. Seeking a more user-friendly solution, they turned to vendor Brookes Supply Chain Solutions and implemented ToolsGroup's SO99+ software to achieve a stable and accurate forecast.

Brookes Supply Chain Solutions' hosted SaaS solution, SO99+, automated the forecasting process by extracting data from Systagenix's SAP ERP system. This allowed for refined forecasts with commercial team input and the calculation of optimized safety stocks. The implementation resulted in a 15% reduction in inventory levels while achieving higher 99% service levels. The monthly forecasting process that previously took two people a week was reduced to a single person completing it in one day, freeing up resources and providing a rapid return on investment.
