Case Study: Starkey achieves 20% inventory reduction and 2% fill rate improvement in three months with Netstock

Starkey reduces inventory levels by 20% and improves its fill rate in three months

Starkey, a global hearing technology company, needed to improve fill rates, reduce inventory and streamline procurement and distribution. The company chose Netstock to implement a sales & operations planning (S&OP) solution integrated with its Oracle ERP to bring visibility and discipline to forecasting, inventory policies and replenishment.

Netstock delivered weekly statistical forecasts, safety‑stock optimization and replenishment planning across Starkey’s SKU base, integrated the Netstock master production schedule with Oracle MRP and deployed a supplier portal and formal S&OP cadence. Within three months Starkey cut inventory levels by 20% and raised fill rate by 2%, raised MPS attainment to over 97%, reduced production delays and improved supplier and internal collaboration.
