“Boardwalk enabled our company to deploy a collaborative CPFR forecasting process with account managers, sales representatives, and customers. All planning data including POS, statistical forecasts, promotions, new product launches, and EOL events were integrated into the solution. With Boardwalk, we were able to improve key customer metrics including in-stock order fill rate and channel inventory through better forecast accuracy. Boardwalk was particularly well suited for designing, deploying, and evolving our CPFR process since having collaboration and flexibility is essential and these are capabilities that are not well addressed by traditional, rigid ERP systems. The combination of Boardwalk’s flexible data architecture and familiar Excel user interface resulted in an initial deployment of less than 10 weeks with implementation and training costs well below traditional offers.”
