Problem

Pet Product’s original planning process was based on the manual collection of data from several systems and reports. Forecasts were prepared no more than 12 months ahead, and the process was time-consuming, difficult to repeat, and lacked flexibility.

The company’s rapid growth, including the opening of 25 new stores in a single year, created the need for a more flexible and data-reliable approach.

Solution

We designed a pilot demand planning solution that unified the data and enabled forecasts to be created directly in the analytics tool. The project validated time savings, an extended planning horizon, and the solution’s readiness to scale in a fast-growing retail environment.

Solution

Planning used to mean collecting data from several sources and constantly comparing them. In the pilot solution, we validated that unifying data and automating rules can significantly simplify the entire process.
