Case Study: Sports Directory achieves better inventory visibility and streamlined ordering with Netstock

Sports Directory improves visibility of their inventory position and ordering process

Sports Directory, a UK sports equipment supplier serving over 28,000 schools with more than 4,000 SKUs, struggled to gain clear inventory insight because their ERP (Sage 300) provided a flat view and required gathering information from multiple places. They turned to Netstock to solve this visibility and ordering challenge.

Netstock integrated with Sage 300 to consolidate inventory data, recommend optimal purchase orders, highlight exceptions and guide focus to the highest‑priority items. The implementation delivered better inventory visibility, more accurate ordering decisions and reduced manual data gathering—improvements Bill Sanderson says have been “crucial to helping us achieve our aim of 100% customer satisfaction.”
