Case Study: McNaughton-McKay achieves 97% fill rates and 30% higher inventory turns with GAINSystems

Delivering Improved Profits and Rapid Growth with Supply Chain Excellence

McNaughton-McKay Electric Company, a major electrical equipment distributor serving more than 5,000 customers, needed to streamline operations, improve service levels, and reduce excess and obsolete inventory while supporting growth across a portfolio of 52,000+ products. They turned to GAINSystems and its supply chain performance optimization platform, including demand planning and multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO), to help manage demand and inventory more effectively.

With GAINSystems, McNaughton-McKay improved forecasting, optimized inventory policies, and used AI-driven scenario analysis to balance service and cost across locations. The results were strong: inventory turns increased 30%, fill rates reached 97%, expedited shipments were cut to near zero, response time to customer order changes improved 70%, and revenue grew 7% while inventory investment stayed constant.
