The client, a leading luxury store chain operating in over 100 countries, was facing challenges with their product demand forecasting process. The process involved a significant amount of manual work, with all sales-related data being kept in Excel tables and calculated manually.

Blue Bottle Coffee Enhances Ordering Accuracy and Reduces Waste with ML-Driven Demand Forecasting
Blue Bottle Coffee (BBC), a global coffee roaster and retailer, faced a significant challenge in managing the supply of pastries across its international network of cafes. The company was using a manual ordering system, where cafe leaders estimated the required quantity of pastries based on historical sales data, current inventory, and growth projections. This system was effective when BBC had a few cafes, but with over 70 cafes worldwide, it became inefficient and inaccurate. The inaccuracies led to either under-ordering, causing sell-outs and customer dissatisfaction, or over-ordering, resulting in food waste and profit loss. The suboptimal utilization of pastries was also affecting BBC's bottom line. Therefore, BBC needed a scalable, precise, and predictive ordering solution to improve pastry ordering accuracy, reduce food waste, and meet its sustainability goals.

Optimizing delivery of global educational programs with deeper insight into company finances
EF Education First (EF) provides language tuition around the world, often by immersing students in another culture. As student numbers fluctuate in different markets and destinations, the company must manage a dizzying array of costs relating to staffing, accommodation and educational materials, and price its offerings to maintain healthy profits while also maximizing sales. With thousands of employees influencing its budgets and financial plans, the company had difficulty ensuring a consistent approach to calculating costs and collecting data. Historically, EF had relied on spreadsheets to collect and compile financial and operational planning data from employees. As a highly decentralized organization, this was no easy task, and it was difficult to ensure a standardized approach to calculating figures and creating accurate budgets.

Erhvervsstyrelsen: Automating financial planning processes and building budgets that everyone believes in
Erhvervsstyrelsen, the Danish Business Authority, supports businesses across Denmark. It runs 450 projects across 27 offices, employs 600 people, and is responsible for an annual budget of DKK 600 million (USD 89.8 million), as well as a number of national and EU grants. Each of these projects manages its own budget – but Erhvervsstyrelsen needs to maintain control of overall expenditure, report back to the Danish parliament, and demonstrate the value it delivers for taxpayers’ money. For this reason, it is very important for the organization to have a robust, reliable budgeting process. Erhvervsstyrelsen was formed by a merger of three former agencies, each of which had its own separate budgeting system. Since none of these systems could be adapted to meet the needs of the new organization, Erhvervsstyrelsen set up a new budgeting process based on spreadsheets. This process involved sending out spreadsheets to each project manager, and manually collecting and consolidating the data they sent back.
