Case Study: Herts Fullstop transforms inventory management with Netstock

Herts FullStop reduces £4.5M in stock holding with Netstock

Herts Fullstop, a distributor managing large and complex inventory, needed a better way to control stock levels, forecasting, safety stock, and ordering across thousands of items. With spreadsheets making inventory planning time-consuming and error-prone, the team wanted a more structured approach to improve service levels, reduce excess stock, and avoid stock-outs. Netstock’s inventory management guidance and tools were positioned to help them move from reactive planning to a more disciplined, exception-based process.

Netstock implemented a framework for classifying items, building baseline forecasts, setting dynamic safety stock, and applying replenishment policies by item class. The approach also supported more effective ordering and exception reporting so Herts Fullstop could focus on the items with the biggest financial impact. While the case study does not provide specific numeric results, Netstock says the outcome is improved sales availability, lower cash tied up in inventory, and fewer stock management issues.
