Case Study: Citrix achieves 99% on-time delivery and 5X inventory turns with Infor Birst (Infor)

Citrix Systems improves their processes with Infor Birst

Citrix Systems, a global leader in virtualization, networking and cloud computing serving more than 130,000 organizations, faced a fast-moving, complex supply chain—120 suppliers, three‑month product lifecycles, two‑day delivery windows—and data scattered across 400+ sources and 150 spreadsheets. The company needed near‑real‑time, node‑level aggregation and analytics to support planning, fulfillment and rapid decision‑making.

By deploying Infor Birst’s cloud Networked BI and Automated Data Refinement, Citrix gained consolidated, near‑real‑time visibility (data refreshed every seven minutes) with a low‑maintenance, SaaS solution that went live in under 90 days and is run by a single IT person. The result: a fivefold increase in inventory turns, >99% on‑time delivery, 10% reliability improvement, 35% fewer days in supply, and self‑service access for suppliers and users—all with lower TCO.
