WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
With our old system of forecasting and replenishment, we
weren’t able to see all of the details that are involved in these processes.
For the first time, we are able to see all of those details, and we have been
able to improve
all our systems and processes based on
that granular demand and fulfillment knowledge.”
