Building shared demand visibility between a QSR brand and its suppliers

National quick-service restaurant network. Supplier-managed replenishment ran on limited shared data. Without a common view of demand and stock, availability risk and manual coordination effort sat with both the brand and its suppliers.

• Designed and delivered a vendor-managed inventory tool as part of a broader supply chain tools program
• Established a shared demand and stock view between the brand and key suppliers
• Built workflow and exception management around the replenishment cycle
• Added reporting on availability and replenishment performance

• VMI tool in live use across the replenishment cycle
• Improved availability visibility for brand and suppliers
• Fewer manual touch points in supplier coordination
