Case Study: Merck streamlines sales forecasting with Lumel

Merck's shift from Excel to lumel for streamlined forecasting, elevating efficiency and decision-making for executives

Lumel provided a sales forecasting solution for Merck, a global pharmaceutical firm. The customer's challenge was automating a highly manual and error-prone forecasting process that relied on Excel spreadsheets to capture data from numerous users.

The solution implemented by Lumel featured bottoms-up sales detail, variance reporting, and data writeback to Amazon Redshift. This drastically reduced planning and forecasting timelines for Merck. The initial rollout was to over 100 users, and product adoption has since grown to support 1,000+ users for a wide variety of use cases.
