Ever wondered how Digital Transformation can make the precision of Swiss watchmaking even *more* precise? In a recent project, we revamped the S&OP process for a watch manufacturer to make it run like clockwork: To achieve this, we implemented a full demand, production, and revenue planning solution. This system (built on Board’s Intelligent Planning powerhouse) took a fragmented planning process and transformed it into an integrated and streamlined solution: 🗺️Complete Control Previously, their planning adjustments were error-prone, causing significant manufacturing and fulfillment issues. Adjustments sometimes required days (or even weeks) of manual reconciliation and calculation. Now, they can make adjustments and generate an updated outlook in a matter of minutes.  🤝Informed Decisions Having critical business data at their fingertips, the management team now makes strategic decisions based on the latest forecasts. Instead of wondering if the data is reliable, they spend more time planning for the future. 🔌Effortless Integration At Bios, we advocate for breaking down silos and ensuring the right data reaches the right people at the right time. Now there is a seamless integration between:  ●  Commercial,  ● Operational,  ●  and Financial Planning This data sharing approach accelerates decision-making and eliminates the need for continuous spreadsheet updates and manual data entry. To get the full story, join Ilse Meier at IET London: Savoy Place. She’ll be talking at the Board Beyond event on 20th March where she'll elaborate on Running Like Clockwork: Digital Transformation in Luxury Watch Manufacturing.
