Supply Chain Analytics

Legacy analysis approaches force you to implement complex systems that provide predefined analysis silos on data that is often days old. Effective supply chain analysis must be real-time, cross-system, and adaptable. Incorta delivers these capabilities and simplifies the analytics process by removing complex data modeling. Your customers do not accept inferior product, neither should you.

With the goal of reducing stockouts by 50% by Q4 2018, online image publishing service Shutterfly needed to optimize inventory and understand data in real time. Shutterfly found it difficult—if not impossible—to access and understand key data points such as stockouts and errors & omissions expenses. Planners were forced to re-plan everything every day, and guess which items required attention.

 The Solution
Access to the Right Data

 Shutterfly implemented Incorta analytics to solve this problem. In only 6 weeks, Shutterfly deployed dashboards displaying Oracle EBS data that direct buyers and planners to their highest-priority activities at any given time. Information previously available only after hours of manual compilation now is readily accessible in only seconds.

 The Result
90% Reduction in Stockouts Year over Year

With access to the right information, Shutterfly reduced stockouts in Q4 from 75 in 2016 to only 7 in Q4 2017. Further they achieved 100% ROI on all software licensing and services in 90 days.

“I’m blown away by what we’ve already accomplished. So far its been the best money I’ve spent.”
