Case Study: Doctor's Best boosts inventory turns and forecasting accuracy with Avercast

Avercast helps Doctor's Best compete in an ever growing industry

Doctor's Best, a physician-founded nutritional supplement company based in Irvine, CA, needed more reliable forecasting to support large online customers like Amazon and iHerb. Before working with Avercast, forecasting at Doctor's Best relied on a massive, convoluted spreadsheet that made accurate planning and purchasing difficult. Avercast provided a dedicated forecasting solution and ongoing support to replace that manual process.

Avercast’s forecasting software is used as a de facto MRP to drive purchasing, supplier forecasts, and internal accounting, with on-going support from Avercast staff. As a result, Doctor's Best can place yearly raw-material forecasts, better predict spend, and keep products in stock without increasing on-hand balances. Measurable impact includes improved inventory turns from roughly 3–4 times per year to about 5.2 turns (approximately every ten weeks).
