Business Challenges Faced by the Logistics Company

The logistics company encountered several operational challenges that impeded its efficiency and customer service levels:

Inaccurate Demand Forecasting

Existing methods needed to be improved, frequently leading to mismatches between stock levels and actual customer demand.

A lack of real-time insights into inventory control resulted in inefficient allocation of goods across a vast warehouse management system.

Elevated Carrying Costs

High levels of excess inventory led to increased storage costs and capital being tied up unnecessarily.

Frequent Stock-Outs

Regular stock-outs had a detrimental impact on customer satisfaction and potential revenue.
