Case Study: SaskTel achieves 3-minute inventory forecasting and $250K+ savings with Alteryx

SaskTel Inventory Forecasts Save the Day

SaskTel, a Canadian telecommunications company serving 1.4 million customers, needed a better way to forecast inventory and avoid material shortages that delayed service installs. Before using Alteryx, the team relied on manual, spreadsheet-based forecasting that was slow, unsustainable across 3,300+ active material numbers, and made it hard to keep up with long supply chain lead times.

Using Alteryx training and time series forecasting, SaskTel built an automated inventory forecasting report that turned a year-long process into a three-minute run. The solution helped SaskTel forecast five years ahead, reduce rush ordering, and save $250,000+ by building reports in house, while improving service timelines and customer satisfaction.
