From ordering on instinct to ordering on data.
How an enterprise consumer-electronics brand replaced gut-feel buying with an ML forecast — and freed $6.5M in working capital doing it.

The challenge
At scale, buying decisions were made on instinct rather than data. Excess piled up on the slow lines while the heroes ran short, and the working capital tied up in stock kept climbing.
What changed
Tightly put an ML forecast under every SKU and channel, reconciled the buy against the plan, and worked the excess down deliberately rather than in end-of-quarter panics.
The result
$6.5M of working capital freed, forecast error down by nearly a third, excess cleared, and stock turning faster.
“We used to order stock based on vibes and prayers. Now we order based on data, and the difference in how the business runs is something none of us would go back from.”
