Rexall Pharmacy Group ULC selected Plantensive as their implementation partner to deploy their Blue Yonder floor planning project. Immediate and consistent communication and collaboration led to the development of a coordinated, strategic plan that began with the deployment of the Blue Yonder floor planning system, streamlining floor plan management processes through the simplification of planning activities. The integration of Blue Yonder’s category knowledge base and AutoCAD conversion tools created a centralized hub to efficiently manage and store their floor plans, planograms and store-specific data and performance information. Additional outcomes included: ✅ Increased Revenue Opportunities: Rexall implemented analytic-driven floor plans that enhanced their space productivity. ✅ Enhanced Margin Rates: The strategic placement of higher-margin categories led to increased profitability. ✅ Inventory Reduction: The reduction of floor space for slow-moving categories created a leaner inventory that carried fewer slow-moving categories. ✅ Operational Efficiency for Category Managers: Space and category management processes were streamlined and optimized through the elimination of redundant planogram maintenance tasks.

A demand planning-as-a-service initiative uncovered inefficiencies in a major national information technology solutions provider’s planning solution, hampering their long-term growth. Partnering with Plantensive, a flexible solution was designed to enhance their planning processes. These flexible solutions promoted greater development and growth for the client’s business, allowing them to update their planning hierarchy and new product introduction rules quickly with minimal disruption to the business. Additional outcomes included: ✅ Improved Forecast Accuracy: Reduction of nearly 8% in forecasting error ✅ Increased User Engagement: Significantly increased their system utilization by focusing on critical planning items resulting in an increased number of inputs ✅ Improved System Performance: This optimization led to substantial cost savings by only hosting and processing critical planning data.
