Business application software company, Infor, announced today that Edward Dillon and Co has successfully deployed Infor SCM Demand Planning to improve the quality of demand forecasting across the premium spirits and wine brands distribution business.
According to Infor, the new software will enable the company to improve stock turnover by up to 20pc while maintaining its current service levels. It will also allow for greater collaboration on promotion planning and market intelligence for the operations and brand teams at Edward Dillon and Co.
“Until now, we had multiple legacy tools that did not provide us with a single view of our demand,” said John Fitzgerald, director of operations at Edward Dillon and Co. “Now we have a unified approach to forecasting across the company. This means we’re expecting to improve the quality of demand forecasting and thereby reduce our investment in stock without compromising service levels.
“The new software also gives us visibility across the business. All departments have access to the forecast and brand teams can actively input marketing strategy, take ownership and add business intelligence to reflect promotional activity.”
“Infor SCM Demand Planning helps companies to be forward-looking, to anticipate peaks and troughs in demand, allowing them to improve responsiveness to changing customer demands”, said Pieter Leijten, vice president, supply chain management EMEA, Infor. “Companies often plan manually against historical sales and stock build for safety; our solution allows companies to decrease inventory, leading to better stock management and better on-time delivery performance and customer satisfaction. This also results in considerable cost savings for companies.”
