Marl International, a Lancashire-based LED lighting company, originally used EDSL’s Sovman system in the 1990s. As the business grew, they needed an upgraded ERP solution to manage Bill of Materials efficiently, reduce excess stock, and improve demand forecasting.

Challenge
Their existing system was limited in flexibility and reporting, making it difficult to optimise stock levels and predict future demand accurately. Marl sought a solution that could streamline processes, cut costs, and scale with their operations.

Solution
After evaluating multiple ERP systems, Marl selected Solvitt for its familiar functionality and proven capability. EDSL implemented a tailored solution, optimising BOM management, stock control, and demand forecasting while providing ongoing support and guidance.

Results
