Case Study: Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation achieves inventory reduction and 14% sales growth with Demand Solutions DSX

Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation Reduces Inventory While Increasing Sales

Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation (NLC) is a provincial crown corporation that imports, sells and distributes alcoholic beverages across Newfoundland and Labrador and operates retail and manufacturing divisions. Facing spreadsheet-driven forecasting, rapid product turnover (adding up to 500 new products a year) and rising inventory that strained cash flow, NLC evaluated planning platforms and engaged Demand Solutions, selecting Demand Solutions DSX Forecast Management and Requirements Planning to replace its Excel-based processes.

Demand Solutions implemented DSX to provide statistical forecasting, baseline projections for new SKUs, collaboration features and promotional tracking, giving NLC true inventory visibility and easier forecast maintenance. After deployment, NLC increased inventory turns by 6.5%, improved service levels by 2%, reduced overall inventory by 1% and grew sales 14% over four years, outcomes NLC attributes directly to Demand Solutions and the DSX solution.
