What results can we expect in terms of forecasting, inventory or ROI?

Answer:

Feedback shows significant gains thanks to Flowlity, both in forecast accuracy and in inventory reduction and service rate improvement. On average, our customers observe up to 60% inventory reduction and a 50% improvement in product availability by leveraging our solution. For example, La Redoute was able to reduce its average inventory of packaging consumables by nearly 50% in one year of use. On the forecasting side, Flowlity continuously improves demand reliability. During a deployment at Saint-Gobain, consumption forecast reliability reached 95.4% (measured by comparing it to actual sales at 3 months) and stockouts decreased by 27.6%, while lowering inventory levels by 11% compared to previous practice. These operational results translate into a rapid ROI: Thales estimates the return on investment for Flowlity at less than 18 months. Other clients, such as the Lemoine Group, aimed to reduce their inventory by €1 million and achieved this goal faster than expected, largely thanks to Flowlity. In addition to the figures, the organizational benefits are worth noting: planners save time (fewer emergencies to manage, more reliable planning), which allows them to focus on higher value-added tasks. The service rate improves, increasing customer satisfaction and revenue (fewer sales lost due to stockouts). In summary, with Flowlity, you can expect less inventory, fewer stockouts, more sales – and therefore financial and operational optimization of your supply chain from the first year of use. Indicators such as inventory turnover, OTIF (On Time In Full), and service level are seeing significant improvement thanks to the increased reliability of forecasts and the continuous optimization of supplies.
