STREAMLINING WATCH PLANNING AND ALLOCATION FOR A LUXURY WATCH RETAILER
Our client, a globally recognised luxury watch retailer, sought a more efficient, digital approach to their watch planning and allocation processes. Previously relying heavily on Excel, they were managing massive spreadsheets with painstaking manual updates. This was time-consuming, prone to error, and made it difficult to get a clear view of stock and sales.
This integration drastically improved planning efficiency, allowing the team to shift from manual data entry to high-level analysis.
The client’s processes were primarily managed in Excel, with some additional tools like Delta Master and Salesforce. Due to using a combination of systems, allocation was slow and very labour-intensive. Large spreadsheets needed constant manual updates, limiting visibility and flexibility and making data-driven decisions challenging. The retailer wanted a solution that would reduce manual effort, increase visibility, and free their team to focus on strategic analysis, instead of data entry.
And find out all about the highlights:
Time saved on manual data management means more time for strategic decision making
The solution continues to evolve with their needs
Real time visibility into stock, sales and allocation performance – all in one place

Financial planning at RheinEnergie was primarily carried out using decentralised Excel files, which led to poor data quality, time-consuming manual processes, and a lack of transparency. The company recognised the need for an integrated EPM solution to enable efficient and high-quality centralised planning.
The classic Excel-based planning process for merchandise planning reached its limits with the constant growth of Zalando, Europe’s largest online platform for fashion. Too time-consuming, error-prone and not very homogeneous: Merchandise planning was no longer in line with the dynamic business environment and was in danger of completely losing sight of important key factors in an overly sluggish planning process.
Zalando relied on bdg to implement a complex solution in Jedox for merchandise planning.
The result: the planning time and effort were radically reduced and the quality of the planning was significantly increased.
