    • 99.9 percent fill rate for AAA high-priority SKUs
    • Reduced risk and fewer manual planning errors

The Challenge

Maintaining Industry-Leading Fill Rates During Rapid Growth

Chadwell Supply’s internally developed planning program and manual Dynamics GP workflows reached a breaking point as the business scaled. They lacked the real-time visibility and advanced forecasting logic required to manage high SKU complexity and regional demand volatility across their 14-branch network.

  • Demand volatility across 100,000 item SKUs

  • Irregular sales patterns and fast-moving regional differences

  • Compounded complexity from rapid branch and customer growth

  • Heavy reliance on manual "number crunching" and an outdated internal tool
