Case Study: Clover Imaging Group achieves improved forecasting accuracy, reduced inventory costs, and faster delivery with Microsoft Power BI

Clover Imaging Group - Customer Case Study

Clover Imaging Group, a large global manufacturer and distributor of imaging products, faced inventory imbalances, forecasting challenges, high inventory costs, and the need to modernize its global planning and distribution. To tackle these issues, Clover Imaging Group partnered with Microsoft Power BI (and Azure Machine Learning, with support from Concurrency) to gain deeper data insights, improve product availability, and reduce overall inventory investment.

The vendor implemented an Azure-based machine learning platform integrated with Microsoft Power BI dashboards and Microsoft security services, automating data reassessments and producing new packaging and stocking plans every 30 minutes. As a result, processing teams nearly tripled efficiency, Clover eliminated about 50 on‑prem servers, saw higher fill rates, a significant reduction in backorders, shorter lead times, and improved forecasting and KPI visibility—delivering measurable operational and customer-experience gains.
