Case Study: Straumann achieves 15% higher forecast accuracy with Bluecrux and Anaplan AI-driven demand planning

Straumann improves forecast accuracy by 15% with Bluecrux

Straumann, a Swiss leader in dental implants and technology, faced challenges in demand forecasting due to its global growth and acquisitions. Each brand and business unit functioned differently, resulting in scattered planning, a lack of a standard forecasting tool, poor production capacity usage, and many SKUs going unplanned. To address this, they partnered with vendor Bluecrux.

Bluecrux implemented an Anaplan solution featuring AI-driven forecasting with PlanIQ and a Forecast Value Add process. This established a global process with a standard way of working, a repeatable workflow, and an Anaplan Center of Excellence. The solution delivered a 15% increase in baseline forecast accuracy for Straumann through machine learning algorithms.
