Case Study: Grupo Herdez achieves 98% stock certainty and unified demand forecasting with Oracle Demantra

Grupo Herdez Unifies Supply Chain Strategy, Boosting Accuracy of Medium- and Long-Term Demand Forecasts

Herdez SA de CV, a leading Mexican processed-foods and frozen-yogurt group with 14 plants, 9 distribution centers and a portfolio of well-known brands, needed to standardize and scale its supply chain strategy to meet customer needs—especially for perishable items. The company sought to accelerate deliveries, improve dispatch compliance, boost medium- and long-term demand-forecast accuracy, and reduce IT complexity by replacing disparate planning systems.

Herdez implemented Oracle’s Demantra suite for advanced forecasting, demand management and real-time S&OP, consolidating demand planning, inventory, production and procurement into a single instance. The integrated solution improved collaboration across factories and DCs, raised stock certainty from about 90% to 98%, optimized working capital and on-time delivery, enabled proactive investment decisions, and simplified IT management after a three-month initial go-live and ongoing upgrades.
