Current Situation
S&OP targets (including allocation and replenishment rules) are driven mostly through fixed replacement methods based on historical data sets without a data view of customer demand, dynamic changes in demand, or localization to the item or store levels.
Goals and Objectives
Use localized demand data to establish realistic sales and ops planning. Optimize planning to achieve real-term financial targeting. Enable more effective allocation planning based on localized demographics at the item and store levels to build a bottom-up view into regional and corporate sales. Leverage demographic information about customer segments in assessing allocation.
Technology Deployed
Predictive AI technology and algorithms, ML technology, operational planning solutions, retail merchandising systems, and financial management tools
Use Case Summary
Enable real-time allocation and replenishment plans based on data and localized planning to enable realistic goals and objectives at item, store, region, and corporate levels.
