The team scheduled extensive interviews and organized workshops to discover the current state of operations through the perspective of people within the organization. In order to successfully implement the program of planning improvement initiatives, Chainalytics first conducted an assessment of SiteOne’s current operations, planning, and replenishment processes to gain a baseline understanding of the organization, business practices, and technology. SiteOne collaborated with Chainalytics consultants to support the development of future-state planning processes, design a new organizational structure, configure the JDA technology solution, and support the integration and testing as well as the future rollout of the redesigned distribution network. At the time, they possessed rudimentary forecasting and inventory planning capabilities, a limited inventory planning technology solution, a high Cost-to-Serve, and frequent product repositioning. Prior to the partnership with Chainalytics, SiteOne was facing a number of challenges as they looked towards a future distribution network yet to be implemented.
Once this step was complete, Chainalytics’ Integrated Demand and Supply Planning services team worked with SiteOne to implement JDA’s demand planning and replenishment solutions, to drive product availability and to maximize the investment on inventory at the retail locations. The new DCs created an improved replenishment process to the numerous locations SiteOne manages in 45 states and five provinces. The locations for the new distribution centers minimized transportation, warehousing, and inventory costs, while providing the required service to the retail locations. This DC network design was done by Chainalytics’ consultants using Llamasoft’s Supply Chain Design software. This allowed SiteOne to design a distribution network to lower supply chain costs and improve store service. The first step in the process was partnering with the Chainalytics to identify the optimal distribution network strategy. So when SiteOne Landscape Supply, the nation’s largest supplier of wholesale landscape supplies and golf course accessories in North America, decided to redesign their distribution network as well as their inventory planning and fulfillment process, they decided to engage Chainalytics’ deep supply chain planning expertise and JDA technology implementation experience to lead the way. Successfully managing over 100,000 products across 470 locations requires a well-constructed operational model. SiteOne Landscape Supply partners with Chainalytics to design a distribution network and implement new demand planning and replenishment technology, resulting in cost reduction and improved customer service
