Case Study: Red Wing Shoe Company achieves 27% inventory reduction and cuts SIOP process time by over 50% with Logility

Red Wing Shoe Company becomes truly collaborative

Red Wing Shoe Company, a purpose-built footwear maker serving retail, dealer and direct channels, struggled with SKU-level forecasting and spreadsheet-based planning as its product portfolio and network grew. The company needed a more accurate, collaborative Sales Inventory Operations Planning (SIOP) process to position inventory better, shorten lead times and give suppliers reliable visibility into future demand.

Red Wing implemented the Logility digital supply chain platform (demand, inventory and supply planning), enabling SKU-level forecasts, time-phased inventory policies and synchronized supplier collaboration; benefits were visible within four months. Results included a 27% reduction in inventory, more than a 50% cut in SIOP cycle time, a 30% improvement in forecast accuracy (WMAPE), 8–10% higher fill rates, 30% shorter lead times and expanded visibility to an 18-month horizon for collaborative planning.
