Case Study: Microsoft improves shelf availability and supply chain planning with Algo

How Microsoft Optimized Supply Chain Planning with Algo

Microsoft, a global manufacturer and distributor of computer devices and gaming hardware, faced challenges in forecasting consumer demand due to its complex global network of retail partners. With data siloed in non-standardized formats and limited visibility into retailer sales, their supply chain planning was inefficient. They partnered with Algo to address these issues.

Algo implemented a solution that centralized all retailer data into a single, AI-driven supply chain planning platform. This provided Microsoft's teams with essential capabilities for collaboration and inventory management. The results included a 20% improvement in shelf availability, a 20% reduction in weeks of supply, a 4% increase in sales, and a 30% improvement in aged inventory.
