Case Study: Sports Directory achieves unified inventory visibility and efficient ordering with Sage Inventory Advisor

Sports Directory improves visibility of their inventory position and ordering process

Sports Directory, a Kent-based supplier of sports equipment to UK schools with over 4,000 SKUs and catalogues sent to more than 28,000 schools, faced limited inventory visibility and a laborious purchase-order process. Their ERP provided little insight into product trends, forcing staff to gather data from multiple places to make replenishment decisions. To address this they implemented Sage Inventory Advisor alongside their Sage ERP.

Using Sage Inventory Advisor, Sports Directory consolidated inventory information, gained priority-driven exception alerts and optimal order recommendations, and simplified PO creation and value-balancing. As a result, inventory data is available in one place, PO creation is significantly more efficient, supply issues are handled faster, and Sage Inventory Advisor has become crucial in helping them work toward 100% customer satisfaction.
