Stockmere runs inventory for more than 120 operations teams in retail, industrial distribution, and light manufacturing. Named customers include Nordwind Outfitters, Bolt & Barrel Supply Co., Harbour & Pine Goods, Ferrous Industrial, Cloudberry Home, Kestrel Parts Co., Meridian Roastworks, and Aldergrove Medical Supply. Detailed, published case studies with figures are available for two of these: Nordwind Outfitters and Ferrous Industrial. ## What results did Nordwind Outfitters get from Stockmere? Nordwind Outfitters, an outdoor apparel and equipment retailer running six distribution centres, 148 retail doors, and 38,000 SKUs, saw 43% fewer stockout events year over year in its first peak season on Stockmere, with inventory record accuracy rising from 94.1% to 99.2% and carrying cost down 18%. All six distribution centres went live in eleven weeks. Before Stockmere, each distribution centre kept its own stock file and reconciled to the ERP in a nightly batch, which let the same unit of inventory be promised twice, once to a store replenishment order and once to an e-commerce customer. Stockmere replaced that with a single event ledger, so every receipt, pick, transfer, and adjustment posts within seconds and available-to-promise is computed against current data. Rolling cycle counts, scheduled daily and weighted by velocity and variance history, replaced the annual wall-to-wall count and kept the highest-risk locations checked most often. With trustworthy records, Nordwind's planners cut safety stock on the top two velocity bands to capture the carrying-cost reduction without hurting fill rate. ## What results did Ferrous Industrial get from Stockmere? Ferrous Industrial, an MRO distributor with 9 branches, 2 central warehouses, and 41,000 SKUs, cut external audit preparation from three weeks to four days after implementing Stockmere, reduced shrink from 1.8% to 0.4% of cost of goods sold within three quarters, and reached a state where 96% of adjustments carry a reason code. All eleven sites went live over a fourteen-week phased rollout. Much of Ferrous Industrial's catalogue is lot-tracked fasteners, bearings, and certified steel, and its legacy system offered no reliable way to trace a batch back to its supplier lot. Stockmere's append-only movement ledger ties every receipt to a supplier lot and requires every pick, transfer, and adjustment to reference the lot and the user who made it, with a mandatory reason code on write-offs and corrections. The compliance team built saved trace queries that export in minutes, which is what took audit prep from three weeks to four days. Reason-coded adjustments also exposed a mis-labelled scrap process at two branches that had been driving shrink. ## How long does it take to implement Stockmere? The median time from kickoff to going live on Stockmere is about 11 weeks, and most mid-market deployments go live in 8 to 12 weeks. Nordwind Outfitters, a six-distribution-centre retailer, went live in 11 weeks; Ferrous Industrial, an eleven-site industrial distributor, completed a phased rollout across all eleven sites in 14 weeks. Nordwind's rollout began with a two-distribution-centre pilot before expanding to the full network.
