EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Project Overview

Global Supply Chain Group manages logistics across 85 regional distribution centers. Encelion built a custom predictive analytics engine that analyzes macroeconomic trends, weather patterns, historical sales data, and promotional campaigns to predict demand with 95% accuracy.

THE CHALLENGE

What the Client Faced

Over-stocking led to $4M in annual warehousing holding costs and inventory write-offs, while under-stocking caused lost revenue during sudden demand spikes. Excel-based forecasting methods failed to capture multi-variable market shifts.

THE ENCELION SOLUTION

How We Solved It

Encelion deployed an automated machine learning forecasting pipeline using Prophet, LightGBM, and transformer-based time series models. The platform automatically adjusts inventory reorder points for over 50,000 SKUs.

PHASE 01

Multi-Source Data Pipelines

Aggregated ERP sales history, supplier lead times, regional weather trends, and economic indicators.

PHASE 02

Hierarchical Forecasting

Built models predicting demand at national, regional, warehouse, and individual SKU levels.

PHASE 03

Automated Reorder Triggers

Set up automated purchase order proposals for procurement managers based on safety stock logic.

PHASE 04

Executive Analytics Hub

Delivered intuitive interactive web dashboards for executive planning sessions.
