Case Study: Zebbies Lighting achieves inventory optimization and reduced capital spend with Netstock

The lights come on for Zebbies inventory planning

Zebbies Lighting, an importer and retailer of lighting products with 18 branches across South Africa, struggled with a labor-intensive re-ordering process using Sage and spreadsheets that left their main warehouse continually understocked or overstocked. The company engaged Netstock to address planning and replenishment challenges across both its distribution center and retail stores.

Netstock implemented an inventory management solution integrated with Sage Evolution to deliver store- and DC-level replenishment planning and a real-time dashboard for visibility. As a result, Zebbies Lighting reduced capital spend, optimized store stock levels, cut transportation costs, freed up working capital, and improved fill rates and customer satisfaction by identifying excess and slow-moving items sooner.
