Here’s what we discussed:
You may feel that it’s impossible to get inventory decisions right. Given today’s erratic conditions, that’s understandable. Volatility, channel explosion, and supply disruption can undermine your inventory levels, allocation and assortment, as well as pricing. It certainly has destabilized most demand plans. Yet companies are driving leadership and innovation in the supply chain. What are companies doing to sense, predict and respond to consumer demand in every location for every SKU? How can disparate groups across supply chain, operations, finance, sales, and marketing work together?
What we showed: Create demand forecasts across multiple time horizons, including near-term demand sensing. Perform DTC forecasting, e-commerce forecasting, and Amazon forecasting.
Here is what we learned:
- On their demand side, they are low on both product and supplies. Their team is frustrated with the forecasting process. There are a number of layers before their product hits the end consumer. Lack of clarity on true demand hurts what they can anticipate and plan for.
- The last 2 years have been a challenge because they cannot get the raw materials needed to make and package product.
- Demand/supply imbalance has rattled the company.
- Standard ERP systems they’ve relied on are not fit for extraordinary circumstances. They are looking for solutions that can sit on the ERP and help rebalance the ATP, confirmed orders, and how to rearrange the order pool.
- They don’t have the luxury to pause or discontinue products because of OEMs. They did put all customers on allocations.
- They are all facing the same thing with expectations and allocations.

A lot of other conferences I’ve gone to are driven off a podium, someone presenting me a solution before they understand my problem. Here I have an opportunity to talk to my peers and learn from them.

I’m not part of some enormous crowd out there. I’m getting lot of interaction, hearing from people, their own personal stories. Individual examples of how people are leveraging their CX skills in their industry, in their business, in the work that they do everyday.
