Problem

Pet Product’s original planning process relied on manually collecting data from several systems and reports. Forecasts were prepared up to 12 months ahead, and the process was time-consuming, difficult to repeat and not very flexible. The company’s rapid growth, including the opening of 25 new stores per year, called for a more flexible and data-driven approach.

Solution

We designed a pilot demand planning solution that unified data and enabled forecasting directly within the planning environment. The project validated time savings, an extended planning horizon and the solution’s scalability in a fast-growing retail environment.

What we delivered

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.
