All-Clad Enables Demand Planning at Key Retailers

All-Clad Metalcrafters, LLC signs an agreement with RW3, Inc. to develop a demand signal repository for its customer POS data. All-Clad plans to make use of demand planning and production dashboards to improve inventory management, store detailing and product lifecycle management at its key retailers, which include Williams Sonoma, Macy’s and Bloomingdales.

 

Don Turano, All-Clad vice president of Sales, says, “I have every confidence that All-Clad will benefit tremendously from RW3’s reporting and analytics solutions. All-Clad has a very strong reputation in the marketplace, and we are investing in improving our capabilities to further our relationship with retailers. The improved utilization of consumer insights into our brands and product mix will facilitate inventory alignment and improve sales.”

 

RW3 InSight Group works with consumer goods vendors to help create solutions to manage retail Point-of-Sale (POS) data across multiple channels and retailers in North America. The solutions entail creating a Demand Signal Repository to integrate all retailer POS streams, and normalizing and cleansing that information as needed. Reporting deliverables are created for all functional groups including Demand Planning, Marketing & Sales, with multi-level accessibility. In many cases, the data is also used to facilitate in-store execution resulting in significant reduction of authorization voids and out-of-stock conditions.
