Case Study: Premium Apparel Company achieves 70% faster planning runtime with Altimetrik

Premium Apparel Company cuts planning engine runtime 70% with Altimetrik

Altimetrik partnered with a renowned premium apparel company that was struggling with the performance of its custom-built, PySpark-based retail Transfer Engine, called TIGER. The engine's runtime had ballooned to 240 minutes, severely delaying merchandise planning and inventory allocation decisions and hindering the retailer's operations.

By analyzing and optimizing the engine's codebase, Altimetrik implemented targeted performance enhancements. This solution reduced the runtime by 70% to just 71 minutes, extended the planning horizon to 500 days, and automated purchase order generation, all while maintaining prediction accuracy. The improvements from Altimetrik provided the client with a faster, more scalable system to support long-term strategic goals.
