Case Study: Acrelec achieves better S&OP collaboration and efficiency with Colibri

Acrelec implements an S&OP process to keep its competitive advantage

Acrelec, a French leader in self-service kiosks and digital store solutions, was growing rapidly across 70 countries but struggling to keep pace with increasingly complex, customized customer demand. Its short-term visibility was limited to a three-month demand plan, which created responsiveness issues and misalignment between subsidiaries and the production team. To improve planning and maintain its competitive advantage, Acrelec chose Colibri to support its S&OP process.

With Colibri, Acrelec implemented a global S&OP process step by step, replacing Excel-based workflows with an easier, more collaborative tool that could be adopted quickly by subsidiaries. After 12 months, the company reported €2 million in purchasing savings, 27% additional production capacity, and a 63% reduction in buffer stocks across product families, along with better cross-team collaboration and stronger operational structure.
