Patrick van Uffelen: The Nobilis Group is a distributor for perfumes, and we are working together with brand partners within the Germany, Switzerland, and Austria region to distribute perfumes over the retailer to the final customer. It’s a pretty emotional business, so [it’s] actually hard to predict how people are consuming perfume.
We currently use Anaplan in the supply chain, marketing, and sales. We had high stock levels and reduced capital binding. Anaplan has shown us our stocks, our past sales, and we have the prediction of what we’re going to sell. Anaplan gives us the visibility to bring the right goods into the market at the right time.
We see better what we need by the customers and what we better order by the brand partners. We can adjust things pretty fast with our model builders to have it right on point where we want to have it.
The part we’re most proud of is having a tool that combines all of [the] departments together, making the complete planning process — from the launch of a product up to the supply chain — complete in one piece, so we have full view of the process.
What our company is completely flexible to the needs of our customer, so is Anaplan. That’s why we chose Anaplan.
I’m Patrick van Uffelen, BI Manager at Nobilis Group, and we plan with Anaplan.
