Supply Chain Transformation Journey: The Henderson Group
Paul McAlinden and Leanne Hamilton from the Henderson Group discuss their supply chain journey with RELEX. The conversation highlights how processes across the supply chain have been streamlined and optimized using automated demand forecasting.
Improve service levels and reduce food waste
Food wholesalers need to strike a balance between reducing food waste, improving product freshness, and securing inventory availability so they can provide the highest level of service to their customers.
Multiple accounts and channels
An accurate demand forecast is the foundation for all supply chain planning. Wholesale forecasting requires the management of multiple customer types and sales channels, including direct-to-consumer and HoReCa (hotels, restaurants, and cafés).
Stock levels
For food logistics, the main challenge is ensuring there is enough stock to meet demand, especially during promotions and seasons, while avoiding avoid excess stock. However, unanticipated supply disruptions and changes make it increasingly difficult to maintain service levels.
Inventory freshness
Perishable stock that doesn’t reach consumers quickly leads to poor quality or even waste. This directly impacts customer satisfaction and profitability. Ordering the right quantity at the right time is critical to avoid hurting margins.
Workforce scarcity
Workforce shortages combined with high labor costs and increased turnover have caused major challenges over the past few years. Wholesalers need to determine how to best utilize available labor, match labor needs to supply chain planning, and drive efficiencies through techniques like automation.
