Case Study: Kapitex achieves balanced inventory, cuts £150,000 excess and improves fill rate by 15% with Netstock

Kapitex survives COVID-19 and Brexit challenges with NETSTOCK

Kapitex, a UK medical-device manufacturer and NHS supplier, faced a serious imbalance in inventory: excess stock on slow‑moving items and frequent stockouts of fast movers. Before working with Netstock they exported Sage 200 data into Excel and relied on simple averages and recent sales, an unscientific approach that left them ill‑prepared for large demand swings from COVID‑19 and the additional complexity of Brexit compliance.

Netstock integrated with Kapitex’s Sage 200 and deployed its cloud stock‑projection tools and item classification, giving a daily dashboard, actionable alerts and easy forecast adjustments. Using Netstock, Kapitex prioritized orders, pulled supplier orders forward, and aligned regulatory work with inventory risk — reducing excess stock by £150,000 and improving fill rate by 15% while managing demand spikes of over 400%.
