Case Study: Shutterfly cuts stockouts and E&O costs with Incorta

Shutterfly cuts stockouts by 91% with Incorta

Shutterfly, a major online retailer, faced significant inventory management challenges due to inaccessible data within its Oracle EBS system. Their procurement team manually compiled reports for hours each day, leading to delayed reactions to stockouts and high excess & obsolete (E&O) inventory expenses. This lack of real-time visibility created constant firefighting instead of proactive planning.

By implementing Incorta's analytics platform, Shutterfly integrated directly with Oracle EBS to create automated, real-time dashboards in just six weeks. The solution provided immediate access to vital metrics like "Days on Hand," which helped prioritize tasks and prevent inventory issues. As a result, Shutterfly achieved a 91% reduction in stockouts and saved over 10 hours per week for each team member, translating to 11,000 employee hours saved yearly, while also significantly cutting E&O costs.
