[ ebook ] How AI-driven planning is reinventing retail & distribution

The retail and distribution industry has entered a new era, defined by digitisation, customer centricity, and supply chain disruption.

Consumers expect instant availability, flexible delivery, and seamless omnichannel experiences. Behind the scenes, however, many retailers and distributors still struggle with outdated planning systems and rigid scheduling methods.

In this environment, traditional forecasting and replenishment techniques are no longer sufficient. Businesses need to become agile, data-driven, and responsive to real-time demand signals.

This eBook explores how AI-powered planning and scheduling – using platforms like Microsoft Dynamics 365 and methodologies such as DDMRP (Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning) – are enabling retailers and distributors to optimise stock, boost service levels, and increase resilience across their operations.
