Case Study: Central States Industrial achieves 17% reduction in excess stock and 29% increase in healthy stock with EazyStock

Central States Industrial (CSI) Finds New Inventory Optimization with EazyStock

Central States Industrial (CSI), a global supplier of hygienic process components headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, needed a better forecasting and inventory-management solution after moving from Infor A+ to a new Epicor ERP. Managing 30,000 SKUs across four U.S. distribution centers, CSI faced time-consuming manual demand-type updates and inefficient redistribution of stock, so they selected EazyStock (inventory optimization software) to meet those challenges.

EazyStock integrated with CSI’s Epicor ERP to automate demand-type classification (nine demand types), send alerts for forecast variances, and enable redistribution between sites, backed by hands-on onboarding and support. As a result, EazyStock helped CSI decrease excess stock by 17%, increase healthy (high-ROI) stock by 29%, and drive a 20% increase in sales while only raising overall stock levels by 12%.
