Case Study: SCM Turbomotive (turbocharger distributor) achieves automated purchasing and improved stock turn with EazyStock

SCM Turbomotive Automates Purchasing to Improve Stock Turn & Customer Service

SCM Turbomotive, a leading UK distributor of turbochargers and DPF cleaning solutions managing over 50,000 SKUs, needed to automate purchasing and optimize inventory after finding spreadsheets could not handle supplier lead-time variability (ranging from two weeks to four months) across more than 30,000 items. They engaged EazyStock to provide inventory optimization software and purchasing automation to improve stock turn and first-time availability.

EazyStock implemented a cloud-based inventory optimization solution with dynamic lead-time functionality, configuring the system with SCM Turbo and training the team to use it daily. The result: automated reorder and buffer calculations, faster purchasing processes, and more strategic inventory decisions — including a 16% reduction in new stock items and a 21% reduction in re-manufactured stock in the last 12 months — while freeing staff to focus on analysis and service improvements.
