Case Study: US Networking Major achieves smarter demand and inventory planning with BRIDGEi2i Analytics Solutions

Transforming Demand & Inventory Planning with AI

US Networking Major Develops and Markets Company, a U.S.-based networking products manufacturer operating in 100+ countries, faced a complex supply chain with sole sourcing, long lead times, multi-regional procurement, vendor-managed inventory, contract manufacturing, and outsourced logistics. These issues made it difficult for the demand planning team to gain full visibility and generate accurate forecasts to drive the rest of the supply chain. BRIDGEi2i Analytics Solutions was brought in to improve demand and inventory planning.

BRIDGEi2i Analytics Solutions implemented an AI-powered forecasting engine on top of the client’s supply chain system, using machine learning, causal-factor analysis, segmentation, and predictive simulation to automate forecasts and set optimal inventory targets. The solution also included a “Trust Index” to help planners اعتماد the forecasts and adopt the system with zero human touch. The initiative improved forecast accuracy by 10% and enabled demand planning across 4,000 products in 100+ countries.
