Client Impact

Transforming a European retailer across retail, supply chain, category management and finance

We enabled a successful SAP S/4HANA transformation by defining the business vision and operating model, supported by the development of a transformation office and a program academy for skills building.

Transforming a multinational CPG supply chain using SAP Integrated Planning for Supply Chain (SAP IBP)

We reimagined the next-generation operating model through tech-enabled autonomous planning, capability building, agile ways of working, and proven control-tower processes. The program reduced inventory by 27 percent and manual work by 60 percent by consolidating over 100 data sources into one. It also increased the forecast accuracy by six to ten percent and reaction speed by 400 percent.
