Long lead times, planned with confidence.
How a wellness devices brand took control of a long-lead-time category — hero availability up, holdings down, the forecast sharper.
Working capital freed
Forecast accuracy
Hero SKU availability
Stock holdings
The challenge
Long supplier lead times made category bets hard to time. Stock was either short on the heroes or piled up on everything else, and the forecast couldn't see far enough ahead to fix it.
What changed
Planning became lead-time aware: demand re-forecast on the live signal, reorders grouped and staged to each supplier's lead time, and the buy held inside a current open-to-buy.
The result
Hero SKU availability held at 93%, holdings came down, forecast accuracy climbed, and $1.4M of working capital was freed.
“One of the most exciting propositions we've ever brought into the business. There is so much power under the hood that we honestly can't picture running the category without it now.”
