Case Study: Global Animal Health Company improves forecast accuracy and safety stock with Aera Decision Cloud

Global animal healthcare company selects Aera Decision Cloud™ to improve forecasting, safety stock levels, and lead times

A global animal health company faced significant supply chain challenges in improving forecasting, safety stock levels, and lead times. The company's existing systems required time-intensive manual efforts, which raised costs and hurt service levels, making it difficult to achieve the transformational, prescriptive approach they desired. To address this, they partnered with Aera Technology and implemented the Aera Decision Cloud, specifically the Touchless Forecasting Skill.

By leveraging Aera's solution, the company achieved a 10% improvement in forecast stability and a 1-2% reduction in inventory carrying costs. Aera Technology provided augmented intelligence to automate processes, utilizing simulations for optimal safety stock and providing superior lead time analysis. This resulted in rapid return on investment, freed planners to focus on higher-value work, and created a more engaged workforce actively seeking new applications for the technology.
