01 — Ausgangslage
The regional business sold through its own boutiques, wholesale partners and a growing online channel. Each brand had inherited its own warehouses and carriers, and replenishment rules differed by country.
Service was uneven: launches arrived late in some markets, while slow-moving references accumulated in others. Every proposal to change the network was contested because nobody could quantify its effect.
02 — Umfang
- the regional network from the central distribution centre to boutiques, wholesale customers and the online fulfilment unit, across twelve markets.
- Model the network in Supply Chain Guru with the group’s real flows, costs, lead times and service constraints, and test the alternatives: number and location of hubs, stocking policy by reference, transport modes.
- Choose a design with the brands and the finance function, then implement it: inventory parameters, transport contracts, supply-planning routines.
- 01
Baseline in the model
Twelve months of flows, costs and service levels loaded into Supply Chain Guru and reconciled with Finance, so that the baseline was accepted before any scenario was discussed.
- 02
Scenarios
Hub consolidation, a second regional hub, stocking policies by reference class and modal choices were simulated against service targets by market and channel.
- 03
Decision
The chosen design consolidated two hubs, moved slow-moving references to central stock and set service classes by market. The business case was signed by the brands and Finance.
- 04
Implementation
Inventory parameters rewritten in the ERP, transport contracts retendered on the new flows, and a monthly supply-planning and S&OP cycle installed to keep the design alive.
03 — Wirkung
Launches now reach every market on the same week. Slow-moving references are held once, centrally, and the online unit is served without competing with boutiques for stock.
The model stays in use: the planning team reruns it each quarter as demand, tariffs and carriers change.

KI-gestütztes Sourcing bei einem Wasserversorger
Ein regulierter Versorger kaufte dieselben Leistungen und Materialien über Hunderte von Verträgen, die niemand vollständig gelesen hatte. OREDJA analysierte die Vertragsbasis KI-gestützt, baute die Warengruppenstrategien auf den Fakten neu auf und automatisierte die Vorbereitung der Ausschreibungen. Acht Prozent Einsparungen wurden in den betroffenen Warengruppen realisiert.
