The project challenge

Eurofarma needed a demand planning system that offered the flexibility and speed to conduct the forecasting process in a collaboratively way between the different departments of the company.

Pyplan S&OP's Demand Planning application emerged as the solution that could address Eurofarma's challenges.

With over 400 SKUs to manage, Eurofarma required a tool that could handle large volumes of data while maintaining accuracy forecasting. The company wanted a platform that would not only generate forecasts but also facilitate seamless collaboration among all departments involved in the planning process.

The Solution Design

With Pyplan's Demand Planning tool, Eurofarma was able to:

• Improve the assertiveness of demand forecast.
• Streamline collaboration between departments in the planning process.
• Improve the visibility of information for all working groups.
• Support agile execution throughout the supply chain.

This implementation allowed Eurofarma to have their information available in a quick and consistent way. The team dedicated to planning analysis now has more time to focus in developing business strategies and higher value-added tasks.
