Challenge

Brandwoven needed a structured yet flexible demand and supply planning solution to support its diverse product portfolio. Other solutions were either too narrow in their abilities or required extensive historical data, making them unsuitable for Brandwoven’s needs.

The company needed a tool that had to:

• Balance automation with the flexibility for manual adjustments

• Enable demand planners to integrate business insights into forecasts

• Offere a user-friendly interface for seamless adoption

• Support custom data feeds for tailored forecasting

• Deliver rule-based automation to optimize stocking and inventory management

Project

Streamline was selected due to its advanced forecasting capabilities, flexibility, and ease of integration.
The implementation process was seamless - Brandwoven was able to connect data sources and start using the tool almost immediately. Streamline’s ability to apply best-fit forecasting models, support custom stocking rules, and provide automated supply planning allowed Brandwoven to create tailored demand strategies for each client.
