Enterprise Distributor Uses Blue Ridge Dashboard to Reduce Forecasting Time by 75%

Food & Beverage Distributor was struggling with outdated systems and manual processes that made purchasing decisions slow and left critical data unavailable. They engaged Blue Ridge and implemented Blue Ridge’s Dashboard (part of its supply chain planning solutions) to modernize forecasting and purchasing.

Blue Ridge deployed its Dashboard to provide daily, data-driven order recommendations and centralize planning across the network. As a result, the Food & Beverage Distributor cut forecasting time by 75% (from 8 hours a week to 8 hours a month), reduced safety stock by 10%, improved fill rates, gained trackable service-level metrics, and strengthened supplier communication — delivering faster decisions, less overstock, and measurable recovery of lost sales.
