Case Study: Rutland achieves £1M in inventory savings and faster ordering with Netstock

Rutland Unlocks £1 Million in Inventory Savings

Rutland, a UK manufacturer of door closers founded in 2004, was struggling with excess stock, a four‑month lead time and the fallout from post‑pandemic supply‑chain disruptions while managing inventory using error‑prone spreadsheets. To tackle these challenges they turned to Netstock, integrating its inventory planning solution with their Sage 200 ERP.

Netstock replaced manual processes with an automated, single‑view dashboard and demand forecasting tied to Sage 200, enabling faster, more accurate ordering and supplier communication. In just 11 months Netstock helped Rutland unlock £1 million in inventory savings, lift stock turns from 1.9 to 2.5, raise fill rate from 92% to 97% and cut ordering time from a day to about an hour.
