Case Study: Johnsonville Sausage achieves 15-25% forecast accuracy gains with John Galt Solutions' ForecastX Wizard

Johnsonville Achieve Forecast Accuracy Gains of 15-25% with ForecastX

Johnsonville Sausage, the Wisconsin-based No. 1 national brand for brats, Italian sausage and other fresh and smoked products, faced major forecasting challenges driven by pronounced seasonality. Simple methods in Excel and their ERP system couldn’t capture the business variation, creating planning difficulties, so Johnsonville turned to the ForecastX Wizard from John Galt Solutions to gain visibility and improve demand planning.

John Galt Solutions’ ForecastX Wizard gave planners an easy-to-use statistical forecasting tool within Excel, enabling alternate forecasts, supplemental analysis and experimentation without in-house statisticians. As a result, Johnsonville achieved forecast accuracy gains of 15–25% on core items (many now with single-digit forecast error), gained clearer insights into seasonality, promotions and competitor activity, and built more effective supply plans and closer relationships with major retailers.
