Case Study: Essco achieves lower stock value and better availability with EazyStock

Essco saved £300k and made ordering 82% faster – without hurting service levels

Essco Group, a Southampton-based supplier of heating systems, hydronic solutions, and custom assemblies, was struggling to manage 7,300 SKUs and daily project-based orders using manual processes in SAGE and Excel. This led to excess inventory, obsolete stock, missed demand, stockouts, and costly ordering errors as the business grew and moved to Microsoft Dynamics Business Central.

EazyStock helped Essco optimize inventory with its Business Central connector, forecasting, order calendars, and demand recognition features, backed by dedicated customer support. The result was a 15% reduction in stock value, £150k in stock value savings excluding project stock, a 24% reduction in excess stock, £148k less excess stock, and 82% time savings on order checking, while also improving availability, supplier planning, and customer service.
