Case Study: Specialty Bolt & Screw achieves 29% lower inventory with RELEX Solutions

Specialty Bolt & Screw Efficiency at Scale Specialty Bolt & Screw's Path to Significant Reduction in Working Capita

Specialty Bolt & Screw, a U.S. fastener distributor with more than 200 employees and a complex global supply chain, was struggling with excessive inventory, low forecast accuracy, and inefficient planning across 15,000+ SKUs. The company selected RELEX Solutions to improve forecasting, distribution, production, and purchase planning, while making operations easier to manage across its locations.

RELEX Solutions implemented its supply chain planning platform in a phased rollout, integrating with SBS’s ERP systems and automating key planning tasks. The result was a 29% reduction in inventory, a 15% improvement in planners’ time, better budgeting through more accurate inventory and revenue projections, and fewer surprise outages, helping Specialty Bolt & Screw reduce working capital and improve overall operational efficiency.
