Case Study: Kawasaki Engines achieves millions in inventory savings and smarter forecasting with Avercast

Kawasaki Engines - Customer Case Study

Kawasaki Engines, a division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries that supplies more than 7,500 independent engine dealers and manages roughly 13,000 SKUs across four UPS-managed U.S. warehouses, faced a complex forecasting and planning challenge. After outgrowing spreadsheets and an earlier third-party planning tool, Kawasaki Engines switched to Avercast in March 2016 to gain a more powerful, remotely hosted forecasting and planning solution.

Avercast’s planning and forecasting software automated routine analytics, freeing Kawasaki Engines’ team to focus on higher‑value work and future growth. The Avercast system helped improve forecast accuracy, freed up millions of dollars in inventory, enabled new hires, and gave Kawasaki Engines confidence that Avercast will continue to scale with their operations.
