A major Canadian energy enterprise overseeing a large, multi-location inventory ecosystem aimed to modernize its operations and rein in rising inventory management costs. With the industry’s shift toward digital transformation and real-time decision-making, the leadership team recognized the need to move beyond fragmented legacy tools and adopt a scalable, intelligent inventory system that could evolve with business needs.
The existing inventory management framework was built on disconnected spreadsheets and outdated tools, resulting in operational bottlenecks. Key challenges included:
Limited Stock Visibility: Lack of real-time data made it difficult to track inventory at individual locations, leading to frequent overstocking or stockouts.
Procurement Delays: Manual workflows delayed purchase decisions and replenishment cycles, affecting supply continuity.
High Holding Costs: Inefficiencies in inventory turnover led to unnecessary capital being tied up in stock.
Inconsistent and Inaccurate Reporting: Disparate systems generated conflicting data, undermining trust and clarity in supply chain decisions.
These issues not only increased operational overhead but also constrained the company’s ability to respond proactively to fluctuating supply and demand.
