LINCOLNSHIRE, IL — Bimbo Bakeries USA (BBU) has announced the use of antuit.ai, a part of Zebra Technologies, to transform order accuracy, team visibility and increase customer satisfaction.
“Zebra is the perfect collaborator for the complex and sizeable challenges we’re facing through our transformation,” said Morgan Smith, VP, direct store delivery center of excellence at BBU. “Their antuit.ai forecasting and planning solution, augmented by a custom-fit user interface and deep industry expertise, enables us to achieve a significant step-change in both our order accuracy and organizational productivity. And the best part is that we did not have to wait years to feel the business impact.”
antuit.ai optimizes forecasting — overstocking and understocking — planning, allocation replenishment and lifecycle pricing for CPG companies, providing better inventory decision-making power. With the Zebra antuit.ai Predictive Ordering for Direct Store Delivery solution, BBU has been able to minimize waste by reducing forecast errors by up to 30% and maintaining forecast efficiency of over 80% for more than five years.
With 59 bakeries and over 20,000 associates, BBU worked with Zebra to leverage the antuit.ai solution to maintain a balance of freshness and availability. The Zebra technology has allowed the baking company to work in a new way, resulting in a “Perfect Order” solution that has lowered forecast errors and provides BBU with better worker productivity.
