Sales Planning And Inventory Management in Production at ZEELANDIA
Company Zeelandia ČR has been operating in our country since 1990. During its existence, it has developed into one of the most important suppliers of raw materials and preparations for bakers and confectioners on our market, and in 1993 it expanded its activities to the field of gastronomy. Their ambition is to become a strong food company operating worldwide. In the past, the company failed to keep their inventory levels at the required values and therefore, along with our company, started a journey to increase the availability of its products for its customers.
9 %
We increased the product availability by 9%, from the original 90% to the target value of 99%.
The field in which Zeelandia operates has its own specifics, which we could not omit in our analysis and the subsequent implementation of our software. These are mainly the holidays before which consumers tend to pre-stock and the strong seasonality in the autumn and winter months. It is a sophisticated sales forecast calculation that considers the above factors that allows the company to transparently manage all planning processes from the purchase of raw materials from suppliers, through production planning, inter-warehouse transfers to distribution to its customers. And what are the benefits of our solution in numbers? In addition to increasing product availability by 9%, the inventory capital decreased by 18% and turnover time was reduced by 36% to beautiful 70 days.
