Case Study: Marshalls minimizes costs and maximizes service with Peak AI inventory optimization

Minimum stock levels, at the right location, fulfilled at the right time

Marshalls, the UK’s leading concrete and natural stone paving manufacturer, needed a better way to manage inventory during the volatility of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stock levels had dropped sharply, and forecasting inventory and prioritizing order fulfillment had been handled manually. Marshalls turned to Peak for AI inventory optimization to help get limited stock to the right place at the right time.

Peak provides Marshalls with recommendations on minimum stock levels across its distribution network, forecasting demand for every product at each location and integrating overnight with its existing ERP system. The platform is making 4,000 daily AI-powered decisions, helping allocate 600 orders to trucks every day, with £297,000 of daily order value prioritized by AI.
