WALKER EDISON
Avercast powered us out of sheets-based error-prone forecasting and provided tremendous customer support.
Walker Edison is a wholesale furniture company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a vast customer base. They specialize in providing ingenious home furnishings to large-scale and smaller e-commerce websites such as Home Depot, Amazon, and Walmart. Since their inception in 2006, Walker Edison has designed and distributed state-of-the-art, sleek, innovative, and affordable home furnishing products ranging from couches to patio furniture.
Josh Rocha, an operations team member responsible for maintaining and managing inventory, recommends that e-commerce is a field that demands precision. To succeed in the rapidly growing environment, Josh needs to forecast inventory precisely to ensure the timely fulfillment of the predicted demand and complete customer satisfaction. That’s why Josh and his team chose Avercast.
Before turning to Avercast, Walker Edison was stuck in the web of spreadsheets. With time, it was getting tedious to forecast, and accuracy was also below par. Following the inefficient forecasting, Josh and his team decided to finally let go of the spreadsheets and embrace Avercast’s cutting-edge forecasting software. However, their primary concern was customization.
Josh said, “One remarkable thing Avercast did was give us the chance to take the desired number of SKUs. Give them past data, run them through Avercast’s forecasting software, and supervise the output data. It was their biggest competitive advantage because when we got the forecast, the variance from the current forecast was in the range of plus or minus 10%, which was almost accurate. For us, it was a big deciding factor.”
Avercast empowered them to not only customize the software based on what they were doing before but to go beyond. Along with that, Avercast also helped them increase their forecast accuracy. “When we switched to Avercast, we focused on the potential of working with a tremendously skilled team. Their sole purpose is the customer’s contentment, and this sealed the deal for us”.
Another thing worth remembering for Walker Edison is they use NetSuite ERP. They were looking for software that could automatically fetch the data from their ERP and forecast accordingly. Avercast does that quickly and easily, integrating with various ERPs. Avercast fetches data automatically from the Walker Edison ERP, runs it through its own 250+ advanced algorithms, and provides accurate forecasts.
With the trailblazing algorithms’ assistance, Avercast proclaims itself as the most precise forecasting tool. Adding to the claim, Josh said, “One remarkable thing Avercast did was give us the chance to take the desired number of SKUs. Give them past data, run them through Avercast’s forecasting software, and supervise the output data. It was their biggest competitive advantage because when we got the forecast, the variance from the current forecast was in the range of plus or minus 10%, which was almost accurate. For us, it was a big deciding factor.”
