Background
A 120-store chain planning replenishment in spreadsheets maintained by four regional planners.
Challenge
Stock-outs on fast movers and 40 days of cover on slow movers, with no visibility of why.
SJAIN solution
Tech built the demand-forecasting platform and store dashboards; Governance defined model oversight and data ownership.
Outcome
Stock-outs down 38% and working capital released within two planning cycles.
Lesson learned
A forecast nobody owns is ignored. Decision rights matter as much as model accuracy.
