Case Study: Europe Snacks boosts forecast reliability with Colibri

Europe Snacks - Customer Case Study

Europe Snacks, a French producer of salty snacks, needed a better way to manage sales forecasting as growth, expiration issues, and service levels were being affected by forecast quality. After relying on Excel for 18 months, the team ran into limits around statistical forecasting, new item management, collaboration, complexity, and manual error risk, prompting them to seek a dedicated solution from Colibri.

Colibri implemented its S&OP sales forecasting solution quickly, with a short deployment supported by training and workshops to fit Europe Snacks’ collaborative process. The results were significant: Europe Snacks cut forecasting time by 2.5x, gained 5 points of reliability, reduced series changeovers by 20–30%, and lowered expiration losses, while also improving long-term planning.
