Operational Impact
The implementation of o9's solution led to a significant transformation in the retailer's supply chain operations. The company was able to create optimal distribution center labor plans, outbound/inbound transportation plans, store receiving labor plans, and distribution center storage plans. The solution also enabled the company to have a single connected system between forecasting and the fulfillment system, enhancing efficiency and coordination across different functions. The company was able to export outputs from o9 to drive downstream functions such as workforce planning and connect back to replenishment systems to re-prioritize transfer orders from distribution centers to stores. The solution replaced Excel and PowerPoint, leading to more streamlined and automated processes. The company also saw a reduction in transportation and labor costs and a decrease in out-of-stock situations in stores, leading to improved customer satisfaction. | |
