Insights from Past Issues
The AI Forecasting Model That Cut Inventory Costs for a Distributor
Industry: Wholesale Distribution
Overview: A mid-sized electronics distributor was struggling with the classic dilemma: stockouts on high-demand items and overstocking of slow-moving products. Their traditional forecasting methods, based on historical sales data, couldn't keep up with volatile market demand, leading to tied-up capital and missed opportunities.
Challenge: The core challenge was moving from reactive to predictive inventory management. They needed a model that could account for seasonality, market trends, and supplier lead times with greater accuracy.
Insight Shared: We detailed a practical framework for implementing a simple AI-powered forecasting model using their existing ERP data. The newsletter broke down how to leverage machine learning algorithms to analyze patterns that human planners would miss, providing a step-by-step guide to connecting their sales data to a predictive analytics tool.
Unlocking Hidden Capacity: A Deep Dive into OEE for Fabricators
Industry: Industrial Manufacturing
Overview: A metal fabrication company believed they needed to invest in new machinery to meet growing demand. However, their capital was limited, and the lead time for new equipment was over a year. They felt stuck, unable to increase output without significant investment.
Challenge: The company lacked visibility into their true production efficiency. They didn't have a reliable way to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), meaning they couldn't identify the root causes of lost production time—be it availability, performance, or quality issues.
Insight Shared: Our newsletter provided a blueprint for calculating and improving OEE without expensive sensors. We outlined how to use data from their existing ERP and MES systems to track micro-stoppages, setup times, and quality rejection rates. The article included a downloadable OEE calculation template and a checklist for identifying the most common sources of production loss.
Automating Order-to-Cash: How an SMB Saved 20 Hours a Week
Industry: Professional Services
Overview: A growing consulting firm was drowning in manual administrative work. Their order-to-cash (O2C) cycle involved manual data entry from proposals to project setup, time tracking, invoicing, and revenue recognition. This process was slow, error-prone, and pulled senior staff away from client-facing activities.
Challenge: The primary obstacle was a fragmented system landscape. Data lived in separate CRM, project management, and accounting tools, requiring constant manual reconciliation. They needed a unified workflow to automate the entire O2C process.
Insight Shared: We published a guide on "The 5 Key Automation Points in Your O2C Cycle." It mapped out how to use an integrated ERP system to create a seamless flow. The insight focused on setting up triggers: a signed proposal in the CRM automatically creates a project and sales order, approved timesheets auto-generate draft invoices, and payments are automatically reconciled, providing real-time financial visibility.
