Case Study: The Carlstar Group achieves data-driven decision-making and $10M inventory savings with Logility

The Carlstar Group becomes a truly data-driven business

The Carlstar Group, a Franklin, Tennessee–based maker of specialty tires and wheels, faced a “data stew” of ERP extracts, spreadsheets and anecdote that left sales, operations and IT without trusted, timely information. This lack of a single source of truth paralyzed sales reps, impaired inventory planning and back‑order tracking, and kept the company from making coordinated, data‑driven decisions.

By deploying Logility’s Digital Supply Chain Platform and analytics, Carlstar consolidated disparate systems into a single, visible data view with graphical dashboards and faster forecasting. The change drove measurable results: about $10M removed from obsolete inventory, past‑due orders reduced from $12M to $0.5M (≈$11.5M), improved fulfillment and customer service, lower cost‑to‑serve, and quicker, better decision‑making across the business.
