Case Study: Speck Products streamlines inventory control and reduces excess inventory with Oracle NetSuite (PlanningEdge)

Speck Products Streamlines Inventory Control Processes with PlanningEdge and NetSuite ERP

Speck Products, a Silicon Valley maker of protective cases for mobile devices with thousands of SKUs across multiple locations, faced growing transaction volumes and a complex planning process that outgrew the native NetSuite planning options. The company needed a more predictive, intuitive system that could forecast component demand, aggregate shared-component requirements, and give planners clear visibility to reduce excess inventory and improve ordering.

Speck implemented PlanningEdge fully integrated with NetSuite, chosen for its planner-focused UX and automatic aggregation of component demand that produces actionable replenishment recommendations and drill-down forecasts. The seven-month implementation went live in March 2013 and delivered faster, more accurate ordering, reduced excess inventory, improved component visibility and overall operational efficiencies.
