Client context
A multi-site industrial manufacturing group running ~8–10 plants and several regional distribution centres across EMEA and APAC, on a mix of ERP systems.
Problem size
~20,000 active SKUs and tens of thousands of shipments a month. Planning, supply and delivery data sat in disconnected systems, so disruptions were visible only after a stockout had already happened.
What KEPLER did
- Engineered a unified data layer joining ERP, supplier EDI, transportation (TMS) and inventory feeds in near-real time
- Built a real-time control tower in Power BI — one predictive view of supply and delivery risk
- Added exception-based alerting tuned to the actions planners could actually take
- Embedded alerts into the planning workflow so issues were worked before they became shortages
Results
40% fewer stockouts, with faster planner response to disruption and clearer end-to-end inventory visibility.
