Studenac Market

One of the top national chains with the largest sales network in Croatia, Studenac Market currently operates more than a thousand stores. It is the leading retail chain on the Adriatic Coast, selling various seasonal and non-seasonal products. A significant portion of their stores are seasonal, making effective inventory planning and optimization a critical part of their business.

 

Goals

Transform manual supply chain planning processes and create an automated and unified digital platform with a single source of truth

Optimize demand and supply at the store / SKU level to address the local nuances while managing purchasing from hundreds of suppliers

Minimize operating costs across the supply chain while simultaneously improving availability

Challenges

Non-standardized technology backbone with data gaps in master & operational databases

Need for a fast implementation to transform planning processes across multiple DCs and 1,000+ stores 

Complex supply network, including deliveries from DCs as well as direct shipments to stores–planned and executed manually by store managers 

Seasonal demand, with some regions experiencing 3-5X sales during certain seasons

A diverse portfolio of 14,000+ seasonal and non-seasonal products
