Case Study: Parrot achieves end-to-end S&OP control and full supply chain visibility with Board

Parrot - Customer Case Study

Parrot, founded in 1994 and now Europe’s leading consumer drone maker, faced fast-growing demand, strong seasonality and high sales variability as it expanded into Asia and the US. With only about a month of order‑book visibility, component lead times of up to 12 weeks (creating production delays of several months), frequent parts obsolescence and multiple regional hubs, Parrot needed better medium‑ and long‑term visibility, tighter coordination with its EMS, and a single shared dataset to balance supply and demand.

Parrot implemented the Board decision‑making platform as an on‑premise supply‑chain control tower, delivering an integrated S&OP solution (DRP calculations, scenario modeling, workflows with validation, and write‑back capabilities) in under 100 days. The result is end‑to‑end visibility and a seven‑stage S&OP workflow that reconciles supplier production with sales forecasts, improves forecasting and stock management, enables informed scenario‑based decisions for peak events, and gives teams a single, accurate source of truth to drive efficiency.
