Case Study: Ideal Cycle & Toy Wholesalers achieves smarter stock decisions and reduced stockouts with Sage Inventory Advisor

Ideal Cycle & Toy Wholesalers makes smarter stock decisions with Sage Inventory Advisor

Ideal Cycle & Toy Wholesalers, a family-owned branded toy distributor in Gauteng, Johannesburg, was buying stock based on intuition rather than accurate forecasting, leading to frequent stockouts, overstocking and wasted buying budget. Already using Sage 300 ERP, the company turned to Sage Inventory Advisor to gain up‑to‑the‑minute inventory visibility and more reliable forecasting.

Sage Inventory Advisor was implemented (integrating with their Sage ERP) to provide daily diagnostics showing underperforming lines, current stockouts and items at risk of running out. As a result, Ideal Cycle & Toy Wholesalers avoided spending on products that stopped selling, increased revenue by keeping hot sellers in stock, and saved time and money by streamlining forecasts and ordering — benefits attributed directly to Sage Inventory Advisor.
