The challenge

At a global consumer goods manufacturer, planners relied on fragmented spreadsheets and manual SAP queries to forecast demand and balance inventory. Forecasting took weeks, replenishment required day-long cycles, shortages were detected after stockouts occurred, and waste tracking depended on paper forms—driving delays, errors, and avoidable financial losses.
