Case Study: Shoreline Truck Parts reduces inventory stress and improves demand planning with StockTrim

Shoreline Truck Parts halves weekly inventory review time with StockTrim

Shoreline Truck Parts, a manufacturer of stainless steel truck and HVAC parts, faced significant challenges with its manual, spreadsheet-based inventory planning system. This inefficient process led to frequent stockouts, emergency premium purchases, and production halts, putting immense stress on the team and threatening their commitment to same-day shipping. To address this, they implemented StockTrim, a demand forecasting tool that integrates with their Katana Cloud Manufacturing ERP system.

By using StockTrim, Shoreline Truck Parts drastically improved its demand planning. The solution provided clear visibility into component-level usage and allowed for manual adjustments for new products. This resulted in a more than 50% reduction in the time spent on weekly inventory reviews. The team gained confidence in their inventory levels, avoided production stoppages, and felt prepared for peak demand, ensuring they could consistently meet their same-day shipping promise.
