Case Study: Bison Gear and Engineering Corporation achieves centralized inventory visibility and smarter inventory decisions with Netstock

Netstock gears up production for Bison Gear

Bison Gear and Engineering Corporation, a U.S. manufacturer of AC and DC gearmotors, was struggling with no visibility into inventory and bills of materials while running a mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order operations on Sage 500. The team relied on manual, error-prone spreadsheets to match demand and supply, which led to time-consuming processes, stockouts and overstocking. Netstock was brought in to address these visibility and planning challenges by integrating with their Sage 500 ERP.

Netstock implemented an integrated solution that centralized sales, purchase and BOM data into a single dashboard, enabling risk profiling by item and location, accurate safety stock settings and a panoramic view of product and financial data within the BOM. The Netstock deployment removed manual spreadsheet work, freed up employee time (driving a notable ROI), improved inventory decisions and reduced instances of stockouts and overstock, while also delivering strong vendor support.
