Case Study: Lubinski Group achieves 25% inventory reduction and maintains 95%+ service levels with ToolsGroup SO99+

Overcoming long-tail SKUs to significantly decrease excess stock while providing high service levels

Lubinski Group, Israel’s sole importer of Peugeot and Citroen spare parts, was managing more than 20,000 SKUs—about 75% slow-moving long-tail items—using fixed, manual planning during an ERP migration, which led to rising inventory, obsolescence write-offs and frequent rush air shipments despite two full-time planners. To address this, Lubinski worked with Rasner Logistics Software to integrate ToolsGroup’s SO99+ with their new Microsoft Navision ERP.

ToolsGroup’s SO99+ delivered automated, self-learning demand modeling, SMO and replenishment so Lubinski rarely needed to override recommendations and now requires only one planner part‑time. The implementation cut inventory by roughly 20–30% (about 25%), sustained service levels at 95–97%+, reduced rush air shipments by one-third, delivered about €1.5M in first-year inventory savings, and significantly boosted planning productivity.
