Supply ChainOct 28, 2024Regional retailerOutcome: 8% fewer stockouts in pilot stores
Supply forecasting that sales actually use
We tuned a simple model and a clearer workflow to cut stockouts.
The team didn’t need a huge model - they needed trust. We delivered that by:
- Choosing the handful of SKUs that drove 70% of revenue.
- Adding a weather and promo signal that explained most swings.
- Publishing a tiny review screen where planners could override and leave notes.
Forecast accuracy improved modestly, but planner trust jumped. That’s what reduced the stockouts.
