关于客户
本案例研究中的客户是一家直接面向消费者的电子商务零售商，该零售商在美国各地运营着众多微型履行中心。该零售商在几分钟内将数千种产品直接运送到消费者家门口。该公司一直使用内部开发的共享电子表格来管理其业务，但随着公司的发展，这种方法正在形成孤岛并限制跨职能的协作。该零售商认识到需要一个能够扩展其供应链规划能力的平台，以支持其增长并提高效率。
挑战
该案例研究围绕一家直接面向消费者的电子商务零售商展开，该零售商在美国各地运营着众多微型履行中心。该零售商一直使用内部开发的共享电子表格来管理其业务。然而，随着公司的扩张，这种方法显然会造成孤岛并限制跨职能协作。该零售商认识到，要继续其增长轨迹，它需要一个可以扩展其供应链规划能力的平台。该公司面临着规划流程、订单履行和长期业务规划不成熟的挑战。在整个企业中使用共享电子表格导致缺乏协作和业务孤岛。该公司需要在正确的时间和地点为其微型配送中心提供正确的产品组合，以满足当地消费者的需求。此外，该公司每月运行一次业务规划流程，这不足以满足他们不断增长的需求。
解决方案
该公司决定利用 o9 平台的功能来集成整个组织的各种规划功能，从而提高协作、可见性和效率。 o9 平台的数字孪生用于优化补货计划，其品种规划功能用于创建超本地化品种，以提高销量和客户满意度。该公司还利用 o9 的流程来制定前瞻性的需求视图，使他们能够更加深思熟虑地制定面向未来的目标和战略。实施的关键功能包括补货计划、需求计划、分类计划和商品财务计划。该公司之前使用的内部构建的解决方案已被 o9 平台取代。选择 o9 平台是因为它能够与公司合作开发创意解决方案、开发自定义实施时间表的能力以及开放式架构、灵活性和敏捷平台。

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)

With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
