Challenges
  • Seasonality and intermittent demand
  • An expansive network that serves 28,000 customers in 140 countries
  • SKU proliferation
  • Manual forecasting tools that couldn’t cut it
Results
  • Increased service levels from 80% to 92%
  • Lowered inventory investment / Freed up working capital
  • Regained control of complex network during a period of growth
  • Enabled more effective reporting

The results we've achieved prove the merits of an automated, centralized planning approach rather than a manual, decentralized process. We are managing successfully during a period of high growth and still have control over our inventories.
