Case Study: Mitre10 achieves flexible, accurate merchandise planning and weekly forecasting with Jedox

Merchandise Planning in a Dynamic Environment

Mitre10, a leading independent home improvement wholesaler and retail network with over 450 stores across Australia, faced complex merchandise-planning challenges stemming from its community-based model, frequent demand fluctuations and continual changes to product hierarchies. Monthly planning and manually updated reports couldn’t keep pace, forcing repeated rework and preventing timely, store-level stock decisions.

Naked Data implemented a Jedox-based, Excel-integrated planning and reporting solution in under eight weeks, combining hands-on training with in-memory calculations for instant consolidation, top-down scenarios and bottom-up re-forecasts. The result: weekly forecasting, reduced spreadsheet reconciliation, empowered business users able to create ad-hoc analysis with minimal IT support, and more accurate, responsive merchandise planning that supports Mitre10’s community-focused strategy.
