Case Study: CALIDA achieves integrated omnichannel planning with Valantic and IBM Planning Analytics

Calida harmonizes 50+ KPIs with Valantic

Calida, an international Swiss apparel brand, faced significant complexity from its omnichannel business model. The expansion into e-commerce, wholesale, and digital retail increased revenue potential but created fragmented systems and data, making integrated planning and analysis a major challenge. The company partnered with valantic to implement a new analysis and planning solution utilizing IBM Planning Analytics with Watson to gain control over its end-to-end processes.

valantic developed a scalable, business-oriented solution featuring a standardized KPI system and an automated data warehouse. This provided Calida with unified planning processes across all sales channels, enabling efficient plan/actual comparisons and driver-based forecasting. The implementation allowed key users to create reports and dashboards via self-service, reducing IT dependency. The partnership established a foundation for continuous, agile development of Calida's analytics and planning capabilities.
