Supply Chain Planning
Supply chain planning is the ability to anticipate demand with enough precision to make informed inventory, production, and sourcing decisions.
We integrate advanced predictive analytics, collaborative S&OP and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) processes, and RELEX technology to turn forecasts into operational advantage.
We understand the challenge is as much organizational as it is technical: aligning commercial and operational teams around a single, executable plan that optimizes inventory and continuously improves service levels.
Supply Chain Planning: The GOLDCO Perspective
Effective supply chain planning goes beyond generating statistical forecasts. It requires building a process where multiple information sources (historical data, market intelligence, promotional plans, commercial insights) are synthesized into projections the organization can turn into operational decisions.
In our experience, we observe recurring challenges: fragmented information across departments, S&OP processes that need more structure to deliver value, and forecast accuracy metrics that must be linked more directly to business outcomes.
The evolution toward IBP connects planning with financial objectives, creating a unified business management process.
“In supply chain planning, we create value by addressing multiple dimensions simultaneously: collaborative processes, clarity in decision-making roles, and continuous improvement.”
RELEX Capabilities for Supply Chain Planning
The complexity of modern demand planning requires advanced analytical capabilities. We work with RELEX Solutions, a platform that uses artificial intelligence to continuously learn from historical patterns and market signals.
Machine Learning Forecasting
Algorithms that identify patterns in historical data, incorporate multiple explanatory variables, and automatically adjust models based on observed results.
Granularity & Flexible Aggregation
Detailed forecasts at the SKU-store-day level that we aggregate for tactical and strategic decisions across multiple dimensions.
Integrated Platform
We connect supply chain planning with replenishment, inventory management, and purchase orders in an integrated workflow that minimizes stockouts and obsolescence.
Scenario Simulation & Analysis
We model the impact of decisions: product mix changes, launches, discontinuations, and supplier lead time variations to improve decision quality in S&OP cycles.
Continuous Performance Monitoring
We track forecast accuracy, identify segments with improvement opportunities, and recommend adjustments. Optimization evolves as a continuous refinement process.
With RELEX we enable the evolution toward probabilistic demand planning: instead of a single projection, we generate demand ranges with associated probabilities, enabling more robust inventory decisions under uncertainty.
Proven Supply Chain Planning Results
Supermarket Chain: Availability & Efficiency
We implemented RELEX with redesigned S&OP processes. Simultaneous improvements in product availability and inventory efficiency. Service levels improved while working capital was used more efficiently.
CPG Company: Precision as Foundation
Greater forecast accuracy that enabled optimized safety stock while maintaining customer service. Agility to respond to seasonal variations strengthened significantly.
Specialty Retailer: Functional Integration
An integrated supply chain planning process that connected commercial planning with operational capabilities. Shared visibility across departments facilitated alignment in inventory and sourcing decisions.
Our Differentiators
Process & Capability Development
We start by understanding how information and decisions flow in your current supply chain. RELEX is implemented to strengthen effective processes and evolve those with improvement opportunities.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
The core challenge is organizational. We facilitate collaboration between commercial, operations, and finance, building an S&OP process where each function contributes its perspective.
We Build Capability, Not Dependency
We transfer methodology, develop RELEX competencies, and establish governance that makes the process sustainable and autonomous.
Measurement in Operational Terms
Forecast accuracy (MAPE), service level, inventory turnover, obsolescence reduction, days of inventory, cash flow impact. Every improvement is tied to a specific operational outcome.
