Case Study: Stonegate Precision Tooling achieves 50% reduction in excess stock and a 96.26% fill rate with Netstock

Stonegate Precision Tooling sharpens their inventory ordering with NETSTOCK

Stonegate Precision Tooling, a UK supplier to stone fabricators using Sage 200 ERP, faced unreliable demand forecasts driven by sales‑rep projections and distorted ERP figures due to many customers on consignment. To address fluctuating minimum order quantities and poor stock visibility, Stonegate engaged Netstock and its inventory forecasting/classification solution.

Netstock implemented a single‑dashboard inventory classification and forecasting layer (integrated with Sage 200), allowing Stonegate to spot potential stock‑outs, drill into item histories, and move to smaller, more frequent, just‑in‑time orders. After four months with Netstock, excess stock fell by 50%, stock value dropped significantly, and fill rate rose to 96.26% (vs a 95% target), delivering improved cash flow and inventory turnaround.
