Case Study: Lightning Fibre achieves better inventory visibility and smoother purchasing with Unleashed Software

Smarter Software Making a Big Difference for Fibre Firm

Lightning Fibre, an internet service provider building its own fibre network in the South East of England, had been managing a multi-million-pound inventory in Excel and struggling with poor visibility, stockouts, and pressure to reorder parts. To replace the outdated process, the company turned to Unleashed Software and its inventory management software to handle purchasing and warehouse operations.

Unleashed Software supported Lightning Fibre with a tailored onboarding approach, including the FlightPath B package and one-to-one guidance from an onboarding consultant. The company went live in September 2022 with no issues, and the new system quickly improved daily purchasing and reporting by enabling reorder reports, better tracking of minimum stock levels, pricing, and lead times, making monthly reporting much easier and helping the software “pay for itself.”
