Case Study: Fortiline doubles inventory turns and streamlines operations with Kerridge Commercial Systems

Fortiline - Customer Case Study

Fortiline, a fast‑growing waterworks distributor that expanded rapidly (opening eight locations in 2016 and averaging a branch a month into 2017), faced the challenge of scaling inventory, purchasing and branch operations across a widening U.S. footprint. To support that growth, Fortiline has relied since 2006 on Kerridge Commercial Systems’ Business Management Software Solution (KCS) to drive inventory, financials and operational processes.

Kerridge Commercial Systems implemented and customized its KCS business management solution for Fortiline, plus ongoing training and support, enabling smarter purchasing, forecasting and branch-level inventory control. The results include measurable gains: inventory turns doubled from three to more than six, improved tracking of purchasing behavior, better stock control and product placement, and enhanced financial forecasting.
