The Challenge

Supply chain decisions were made on lagging information across disconnected ERPs, with persistent overstocks in some SKUs and stockouts in others.

  • 1Disconnected ERPs across plants, distribution, and procurement
  • 2Lagging demand signals leading to bullwhip-driven inventory imbalances
  • 3Manual S&OP cycles unable to react to market changes

Our Solution

CloudGate built a unified supply chain control tower on Microsoft Fabric with AI-driven demand sensing and inventory optimization.

  • End-to-end supply chain data unified on OneLake
  • AI-driven demand sensing and inventory optimization
  • S&OP copilot for planner-led scenario analysis
