Case Study: Sunbeam Foods achieves 52% inventory value reduction and 99%+ fill rate with Sage Inventory Advisor

Sunbeam Foods grow their business with Sage Inventory Advisor

Sunbeam Foods, a family-owned full-line foodservice distributor in Dallas serving the child care industry, struggled with manual stock projections using basic Sage 100 data and warehouse walk-throughs. Low fill rates, excess and obsolete inventory, and time-consuming ordering processes were costing staff productivity and customer satisfaction. To address this, Sunbeam implemented Sage Inventory Advisor.

Sage Inventory Advisor replaced manual forecasting with daily dashboards, historical-demand insights and a top-up feature that recommends items for purchase orders, automating replenishment and highlighting critical issues. In 17 months Sunbeam achieved a 52% reduction in inventory value, an 80% cut in excess stock and a lift in fill rate of over 15 percentage points to exceed 99%, while improving staff morale and delivering clear ROI with Sage Inventory Advisor.
