Streamlining supply chain management for a specialized importer.
The Challenge
A specialized importer managing complex supply chains relied on an Excel-based system for inventory and forecasting, consuming 20 hours weekly and limiting visibility for suppliers and customers. This manual process exposed the importer to inventory mismanagement risks, including potential delays and customer dissatisfaction.
Our Approach
Leveraging the Language of Business Impact (LoBI), we identified the risks of manual workflows and implemented an automated forecasting system. The streamlined MVP replicated existing capabilities while integrating real-time data entry interfaces, reducing operational errors and enhancing visibility. By focusing on eliminating inefficiencies, we ensured predictable and scalable outcomes.
- Reduced inventory management time from 20 hours to under 1 hour weekly, mitigating operational risks
- Forecasting accuracy improved, doubling the planning horizon and enabling timely decisions.
- Real-time visibility enhanced supplier and customer coordination, reducing costs and improving trust.
Our multi-year partnership ensured the solution adapted to the importer's evolving needs, solidifying operational efficiency and market competitiveness.
