(gentle music)

2
00:00:05.756 --> 00:00:09.510
(bright upbeat music)

3
00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:12.690
<v ->The inventory cockpit enables your colleagues</v>

4
00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:17.040
within the depots to locate stockouts more quickly

5
00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:18.030
and be able to address them,

6
00:00:18.030 --> 00:00:19.620
make sure we've got the right stock

7
00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:22.140
at the rate time for people.

8
00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:25.350
<v ->The wholesale inventory cockpit is creating transparency</v>

9
00:00:25.350 --> 00:00:27.300
on optimal stock levels

10
00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:30.720
using a state-of-the-art AI-based forecast.

11
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.690
Typical status quo in inventory management looked like this,

12
00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:37.290
that we were doing a lot of manual analysis within Excel,

13
00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:39.510
extracting data locally.

14
00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:43.050
<v ->A lot of numbers, a lot of people are involved,</v>

15
00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:46.740
and this is an ideal playing field for AI and GenAI.

16
00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:49.440
<v ->What really helped us during the program</v>

17
00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:52.050
was the data platform that PHOENIX already established

18
00:00:52.050 --> 00:00:54.840
because it gave us access to the right data.

19
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:55.673
On the other hand,

20
00:00:55.673 --> 00:00:58.740
the existing cloud platform and AI services

21
00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:01.260
allowed us to implement quickly,

22
00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:03.690
test and validate hypothesis fast.

23
00:01:03.690 --> 00:01:06.090
It gave us security and later on scale.

24
00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:08.820
<v ->So once we have a digital product</v>

25
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:11.190
like this wholesale inventory cockpit,

26
00:01:11.190 --> 00:01:13.320
for us, it's relatively easy to scale those

27
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:15.180
to 10, 15, 20 countries,

28
00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:17.820
and that's what we're doing right now.

29
00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:19.290
What really stands out here

30
00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:21.090
is that we were involved like from the beginning.

31
00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:23.490
The idea came from the business side

32
00:01:23.490 --> 00:01:26.070
in close collaboration with the BCG colleagues.

33
00:01:26.070 --> 00:01:28.140
<v ->The goal was to make it real.</v>

34
00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:29.340
We wanted to implement it,

35
00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:31.320
we wanted people to work with it,

36
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:33.674
and we wanted to see the impact in the numbers.

37
00:01:33.674 --> 00:01:36.257
