Colibri

We turned to Colibri to help us structure and optimise our management tools. Our aim was to develop an analysis and forecasting tool, whilst integrating a solution to assist with the planning and management of our existing order book. Colibri supported us on both fronts, implementing modules dedicated to analysis and operational management. The integration of the Vision module went smoothly and relatively naturally. As for the Flow module, implementation was more complex at the outset, particularly as the tool was initially geared more towards industrial environments. However, thanks to numerous workshops and Colibri’s adaptability, we were able to tailor the solution to our specific needs. Today, the Flow module is fully integrated into our internal processes and serves as a valuable tool for demand planning and order book management (handling stock-outs and overstock, progress recommendations, etc.).

integration of a new scope into an existing environment switch to calendar 445. development still in progress

Colibri Orange. Improved process for calculating sales forecasts and supply plans. Flexibility in the use of Colibri. Digitalisation.

Before Colibri, we used to manage demand in Excel, with the limitations of Excel. Our aim was to professionalise this process and get a global view. We've just integrated Colibri Vision and we're already seeing a positive impact in terms of alignment between departments and the various Group entities. The acceptance of the tool by the sales teams was a very positive point when it was launched, thanks to its ergonomics and ease of use. The reliability of forecasts has improved significantly after a year's use.

Demand planning project. Team attentive, available and supportive

Responsive, Efficient, Simplicity, Speedy, Flexible, Reliable

Setting up Colibri. We were well supported on the project.

We worked on a first POC project on two entities of our group as part of the implementation of a standardised forecasting process in our various subsidiaries. Following this success, the Vision tool was deployed in 4 other subsidiaries. We have developed our skills in demand forecasting, which has allowed us to implement a more robust S&OP process in the relevant subsidiaries. More time is spent on analysis, information sharing and coordination and less on the quality of the calculation (previously done on Excel) and the lack of trust in the data. The time frame for having a forecast is shorter and the approach more structured.

We were facing difficulties in planning our supplies with the impossibility of effectively integrating sales forecasts into our ERP. And we needed a statistical calculation tool to help us make those forecasts. Our sales forecasts are perfectly integrated into the calculation of our supply planning.

Setting up Vision, with our hierarchies Setting up Pilote. Vision allows you to get started quickly, accessible even to a public that is not very IS oriented We have an 18-month forecast, which allows us to process tenders that are more than 3 months old

Implementation of new dashboards in COLIBRI . We now have new KPIs that we present in the monthly meetings with the sales management

Implementation of new dashboards, creation of specific exports (simplification by going from 12 necessary exports to 1 only), daily debugging. Quick consideration and good understanding of our requests, delivery on time, very good contact

The implementation of Colibri Vision&Flow was finally done simply, through very well conducted workshops with real business expertise and great fluidity in exchanges. The sales forecasting process is strengthened, simplified and, above all, better shared. The MRP/Flow part also provided us with real simplification and analysis tools

Colibri's demand planning tool allowed us to manage sales forecasts, demand and interco flows. With Colibri we have centralized our data, replaced our often erroneous XL files, made our S&OP more reliable and accelerated. The Colibri teams carried out the project in an agile, fast and efficient manner; We deployed in 3-4 months. Since GO LIVE, we improve our demand process every month with new features such as dashboards, forecast accuracy, horizon extension...

We wanted to implement an APS solution that would improve our sales forecasting processes and MRP-type calculation, and that could take into account what we consider specific to our business. The big plus point is the functional coverage of the Colibri&Flow solution, and the ability to follow a standard canvas while simply automating certain tasks. This allowed us to address all of our functional but also organizational needs. The expertise and quality of advice in the project phase is a real asset

Construction of the pyramids and implementation of the software. Allows you to analyze more easily and extract table or graph data that can be used directly in presentations

We have multiple countries with no reliable tool to calculate their sales forecast and efficiently manage the warehouse stock levels. This made Colibri the best solution in terms of functionality and flexibility to cover our needs. First of all, the tool offers a user friendly and efficient way of calculating a forecast. Automatic data is fed to the tool which means availability in real time. Colibri contains multiple decision making support functionalities and an easy to use interface for collaborating between multiple departments, which helps in providing more accurate figures. In terms of supply planning as well, great flexibility and functionalities that helped us reduce stock levels and in the same time having better availability.

We were not able to predict customer demand and we did not consult between different departments to agree on a volume. Colibri has provided us with a tool that helps us make predictions about our product families and facilitate decision-making. Forecasts are reviewed monthly. Instead of focusing on 70 references per month, we review the overall volume on 100% of our references. The application analysis stage takes 2 weeks instead of 4-5 weeks.

When we encounter problems, after opening a ticket, the file is processed quickly and if the problem is internal, Viseo technical support gives us keys to understanding which helps us a lot. We develop our skills

We have set up this tool to support the process of developing the customer request within our organization. We have a view of demand at 12/18 months. We can analyze the reliability of our forecast to readjust for the following months and see the alerts.

Accompaniment throughout the first year according to our needs. Listening to our comments to evolve their solution on substitutions for example for which the date can slip according to the remaining stocks. Increased forecast reliability month after month.

At the time, we had a specific time-consuming tool for users and lacked decision-making support elements on strategic topics. After a study of different market players, we chose to work with COLIBRI by integrating the DEMAND module. The implementation of COLIBRI has allowed us to structure our process, to be more proactive on forecasts and to gain efficiency throughout our supply chain. The principles, intuitiveness and maneuverability of the tool allow our sales teams to save valuable time. The forecasts from COLIBRI are currently essential to the strategic management of the company

Support in the implementation of Colibri and the structuring of our data. Support in managing client code changes.

We needed a sales forecasting tool and we chose COLIBRI! The COLIBRI teams are always available to train / accompany us, they adapt at the same time to our pace. They seek to develop with us specific solutions/reports adapted to our group/business.

The deployment of the COLIBRI Sales Forecast Management tool, from mid-2022, has allowed us to delete our multiple Excel files of forecasts by region, and to standardize our forecasting process at the global level, in order to have a more Global vision of our Business. The creation of KPIs shared by the BI tool, now allows us more in-depth analyses on the areas of improvement of our forecasts. And this, keeping in mind the adage: "it is better to be approximately right than precisely false"... This new way of working has allowed the 4 local Demand Planners to save time and efficiency, while creating a working synergy between them. The main users quickly appropriated the tool in just a few monthly forecast cycles, and the full deployment of the collaborative part is planned for this year.

Following the obsolescence of our forecasting tool, a call for tenders was made for which Colibri responded and was selected. We therefore worked to set up the forecast module for the forecasting of our nacelle spare parts. Colibri was set up in a more than satisfactory timeframe given the complexity of Safran's aeronautical data (quantities, exclusions, consumption patterns, demand rate, etc.). The development team was very responsive to our requests and took into account our problems to at least guarantee us an exploitable forecast and be able to benefit from additional elements to better work our forecast.

Colibri allowed us to bring together in the same tool the different sales sites: EU/US/BR . 1 entry point of forecast data = Global forecast follow-up Simplified data analytics

Implementation of Vision and Flow for our central spare parts distribution warehouses. Implementation in less than 3 months Very effective. We have been using it for 1 year and we are very satisfied.

Implementation of the VISION & PILOT module. Fast integration of tools, very good training very pedagogical

Internal audit. Work on the configuration so that it is the most suitable for our activity. Overall improvement in forecasting and analysis

Before, we worked on our forecasts on excel, following the first confinement, we saw our limits with this tool. That's why we decided to switch to a demand planning tool. We decided to work with Colibri because the tool met our specifications (easy to use tool, multichannel management, easy data aggregation/disaggregation, substitution management etc.). We managed to implement the tool in record time (3 months). Thanks to this tool, our supply chain is more serene, we have long-term visibility that allows us to secure our supplies. Our accuracy forecasts are better.

The implementation of colibri's forecasting tool has allowed us to improve our forecasting process and communication with the various subsidiaries of the group. We now have a better reliability of our business forecasts which has led to better product availability despite the global context

We were faced with a problem of reliability of the forecast and partial coverage of articles (the least popular unplanned) with the impact of insufficient visibility of demand and load leading to numerous disruptions in production and a degraded OTIF. Colibri has made it possible on the one hand to raise the OTIF to a satisfactory level and to optimize production launches thanks to a forecast that covers all articles by applying differentiated forecasting strategies (depending on the frequency and seasonality of consumption). Colibri has also made it possible to ritualize the commercial contribution and to legitimize the consensus of forecasting (after contribution).

I had questions about setting attributes and creating universes. the answers to the various questions are almost instantaneous. The team in place is always available and good advice.

Colibri forecast multi-subsidiary internationally and therefore multi-currency Colibri international budget. A quick understanding of our needs Fast implementation

We worked on the World order forecast. We need this forecast to be able to build our production planning. Colibri allows us to take into account the seasonality of the markets and to intervene easily on events that affect the past and the future.

We had been without sales forecasting software for several months. The management of forecasts in excel being very laborious, we quickly opted for the deployment of Colibri, which meets all our needs. We are seeing time savings in our sales forecasting process. Their reliability is also constantly improving. We have also just started the collaborative phase of our process, and expect the first benefits in a few weeks.

Implementation of a sales forecasting software in 2018. Before we used Execl with these limitations. This has allowed us to make our forecasts more reliable and manage them in a much simpler way.

We worked on the implementation of the solution to support the company's S&OP process. Today the S&OP has been viable since 2017 in the company and lately this is what has allowed us to avoid the COVID crisis. In 2021, we recorded +30% of turnover thanks to a strong anticipation of needs.
