Case Study: Pneus UNIMAX Ltd achieves higher fill rates and cross-warehouse inventory visibility with Demand Solutions

Unimax Gains the Visibility to use Inventory Effectively

Pneus UNIMAX Ltd, Québec’s largest retail tire network with more than 2 million tires in stock and a 400,000 sq. ft. distribution center, was struggling with growing supply-chain complexity. Operations relied on spreadsheets and tribal knowledge, leaving planners without cross-warehouse visibility, reliable forecasts or the ability to proactively manage long (2–3 month) supplier lead times. To address this, UNIMAX engaged Demand Solutions, deploying Demand Solutions Forecast Management and Demand Solutions Requirements Planning.

Demand Solutions implemented forecasting and requirements-planning capabilities to generate accurate demand projections, account for seasonality and variable lead times, and centralize inventory visibility across the network. The platform enabled UNIMAX to send accurate POs, move stock between sites to meet customer needs, buy with confidence, and shift replenishment from reactive ordering to proactive supply planning—driving higher expected fill rates, fewer lost sales and reduced overstocks.
