Case Study: DCL Supply reduces aged inventory by 50% and boosts fill rate to 98% with Sage Inventory Advisor

DCL Supply heats up inventory demand with Sage Inventory Advisor

DCL Supply, a Canadian distributor of heating, ventilation and air conditioning accessories with more than 30 years of experience and running Sage 300 ERP, was bogged down by a fully manual inventory forecasting process—staff spent entire days parsing printed reports, had little visibility on trends, and carried significant aged stock that led to feast-or-famine inventory cycles. To solve this, they turned to Sage Inventory Advisor.

Sage Inventory Advisor was integrated with their Sage 300 system and configured with item classifications, policies and parameters, giving the team cloud-based, real-time trends, forecasts and ordering recommendations. The move cut a day-long manual task to minutes, allowed staff to be redeployed, improved ordering quality, raised DCL Supply’s fill rate to 98%, and reduced aged inventory by 50%.
