Case Study: Volpi Foods achieves 98% service levels and improves inventory turns with Demand Solutions

Volpi Foods - Customer Case Study

Volpi Foods, America’s oldest maker of authentic Italian meats, had outgrown its manual forecasting process as it added SKUs, new packaging and international customers. The growing complexity made Excel-based forecasting slow and error-prone, so Volpi Foods selected Demand Solutions’ Forecast Management and Requirements Planning to handle higher-volume, more complex supply chain planning.

Demand Solutions implemented Forecast Management and Requirements Planning in about two months, cutting forecasting staff from as many as eight people to as few as two and automating demand calculations. As a result Volpi Foods’ service level rose from roughly 80% to 98%, they gained one full inventory turn in a year, and expired-product rates fell 2–5%, improving fill rates, reducing wasted capital and speeding response to market changes.
