Case Study: Tarsus Distribution achieves company-wide forecasting adoption and stronger inventory control with Netstock

Tarsus Distribution successfully implements Netstock across seven teams

Tarsus Distribution, a South African IT hardware and technology distributor, struggled with forecasting and inventory management while managing up to 20,000 SKUs using spreadsheets disconnected from their ACS Embrace ERP. Their main challenge was driving user adoption and trust in a new forecasting tool—Netstock—to replace manual processes and bring discipline to inventory planning across the business.

With Exco buy-in and a dedicated project manager acting as a Netstock champion, Tarsus implemented structured onboarding: team segmentation, scorecards, customized in-house training and Netstock’s on-demand videos, and clear go-live timelines. Netstock was successfully onboarded across seven teams, delivering dashboard visibility and classification-driven focus on critical items, helping Tarsus proactively address KPIs, manage supply constraints, reduce the risk of stock-outs or excess, and resolve 90% of user concerns through training.
