Case Study: Cutwel reduces stockouts and inventory costs with EazyStock

Cutwel reduces stockouts by 25% with EazyStock

Cutwel, a UK precision engineering cutting tool distributor, faced significant inventory management challenges due to its reliance on error-prone spreadsheets for procuring 35,000 SKUs. This outdated process led to ordering mistakes, unclear lead times, and excess inventory. Head of Operations Katie Ellis sought an inventory optimization solution to improve availability and eliminate spreadsheets, choosing the software from vendor EazyStock for its functionality and integration with their ERP system.

The solution implemented by EazyStock automated forecasting and ordering processes, providing accurate lead times and visibility. This resulted in a 25% reduction in stockouts, decreased order frequency, and savings of £1,500 per month from their largest supplier alone. EazyStock paid for itself within six weeks and also helped Cutwel achieve a 10% increase in sales while reducing freight costs and packaging waste.
