Analytics services allow executives to assess the proper course of action, instill accountability and achieve continuous improvement. The SaaS business intelligence and analytics application gives clients the insight needed to achieve their performance objectives. The reporting, analysis and alert tools can answer important questions related to replenishment decisions, inventory, and customer demand.

 “As the main supplier of wine and spirits to more than 280 stores operated by the Norway Wine Monopoly, as well as a number of hotels, restaurants and caterers, Vectura must maintain an elite level of service for its import customers, who are concerned with delivering optimal customer service themselves,” stated Greg White, CEO of Blue Ridge. White went on to say, “Navigating this high-demand, extensive supply chain requires a robust solution for planning, forecasting and replenishing products. CLARITY Replenish and Visibility Analytics will provide game-changing breakthroughs to Vectura, delivering competitive advantages and improved profitability. Our Nordic partners at Inventory Investment will lead yet another successful implementation of our solutions.”

With a long and impeccable track record of successful, similar projects, it assured me that we have chosen a solution and a partner that is in line with our ambitious plans for the future.”
