Case Study: a leading healthcare partner and distributor of medical equipment achieves better forecast accuracy and inventory visibility with Bluecrux and Anaplan

Next generation planning tool implementation

Bluecrux worked with one of Europe’s leading healthcare partners and distributors of medical equipment, operating across 12 countries and focusing this implementation on the Nordics. The company needed a better way to handle demand planning, including tender volume forecasting, while reducing the heavy workload created by managing more than 40,000 SKUs and improving inventory performance without sacrificing customer service.

Bluecrux implemented Anaplan as a connected platform for demand planning, supply planning, inventory management, and S&OE, with exception-based planning dashboards, flexible safety stock and supply planning logic, and optimized full truck and container planning. The result was happier planners, reduced workload, better inventory visibility, improved forecast accuracy including tenders, and an S&OE process that enables exception management in a single tool.
