Border States achieved an ROI of 976 percent with a payback period of just 1.3 months after deploying GAINS’ machine learning-powered lead time prediction (LTP) tool, built on a microservice-based composable architecture. Within the first 6 to 8 months, the company reduced inventory by $21M through a network-wide rebalancing of safety stock, translating to approximately $4.8M in annual savings based on its 23 percent carrying cost rate. These savings were realized without compromising service levels across its $600M inventory network of over 300,000 items. The deployment also eliminated legacy database maintenance and reduced the manual workload of procurement teams, leading to over $40,000 in annual productivity gains. Because GAINS’ LTP tool was delivered as a modular, plug-in solution, the project bypassed internal IT constraints and went live nearly a year earlier than a traditional implementation. Over the first three years, the initiative delivered a net present value of $6.4M, an average annual benefit of $4.84M, and returned $13.50 for every $1 invested.
