Case Study: STM Brands achieves 20% higher operating margin with Plex Supply Chain Planning

STM Brands boosts operating margin by 20% with Plex Systems

STM Brands, a global manufacturer of laptop and phone accessories, faced escalating supply chain costs due to inefficient planning and an over-reliance on costly air freight. To address this challenge, they turned to vendor Plex Systems and implemented Plex Supply Chain Planning (SCP), a cloud-based solution that integrated with their existing NetSuite ERP system.

By using Plex SCP, STM Brands gained accurate demand forecasting and visualizations, enabling data-driven inventory decisions and holistic business planning. The measurable results were significant: a 20% improvement in operating margin, a 5% increase in gross profit margin, and a 50% reduction in the use of air freight. The vendor's solution also fostered improved cross-functional collaboration across the company.
