How a Premium Bath Fittings Brand Raised Forecast Accuracy from 50% to 70%+
A global premium bath fittings manufacturer forecast 1,000 SKUs on spreadsheets, with accuracy around 50%. Through Anamind's Planning as a Service, accuracy rose above 70% and the internal team built the skills to run planning themselves.
Industry: Bath fittings and sanitaryware · Scope: 1,000 SKUs across 6 Indian regions · Channels: Retail, distributors and building projects
