Consumer Goods · Anonymous use case
One inventory picture across marketplaces, suppliers and distribution
A home-products use case spanning demand, purchasing and where inventory should move next.
The situation
The decision behind the challenge.
Separate spreadsheets supported forecasting, purchasing, supplier-held stock and channel replenishment. Different report cutoffs could count the same supply twice, while stockouts and promotions obscured underlying demand.
The approach
Connect the decisions, data and operating process.
- Reconcile inventory, open purchases and transfers using a common time reference.
- Adjust demand history for stockout gaps and separate promotion effects.
- Map bundles and their components consistently across planning and execution.
- Compare direct shipment and distribution-center replenishment using lead time, storage cost, duties and service.
Measures that matter
Define what a better result means.
- Channel availability
- Inventory and landed cost
- Supplier delivery performance
- Forecast quality and replenishment exceptions
