Case Study: Panasonic achieves 95% on-time delivery with Onebeat

Panasonic breaks down supply chain bottlenecks—and boosts on-time delivery to 95%

Panasonic was struggling to balance conflicting priorities across its departments and retail customers, which led to a low on-time delivery rate of just 60% despite having ample inventory. The company needed a way to unite its teams around accurate, dynamic inventory targets to meet bulk orders without overstocking warehouses. To address this, they turned to the vendor Onebeat and its demand-driven replenishment system.

Onebeat implemented a solution that used AI-powered analysis of real-time sales data to set dynamic inventory targets for all locations. By employing dynamic buffer management, Onebeat calculated the perfect stock level for every SKU, allowing Panasonic to pool inventory centrally and replenish warehouses fluidly. This resulted in a 95% on-time delivery rate, a 36% decrease in finished goods inventory, and a 15-day reduction in mass retailer inventory.
