In an increasingly volatile Retail environment shaped by omnichannel customer journeys, transforming distribution processes has become essential to maintain high service levels, control inventory and better anticipate peaks driven by commercial campaigns. Brands must also integrate new environmental constraints into their Supply Chain decisions in order to reduce the carbon impact of transportation.

This breakfast session will bring together L’OCCITANE, OneHive and Anaplan to present two structuring levers. First, the automation of store replenishment through an Anaplan model used daily by L’OCCITANE. Second, an approach to measure and plan the reduction of transport carbon footprint, illustrated through the use of an Anaplan model to analyse different logistics organisation scenarios.

Automating store replenishment to gain agility

L’OCCITANE will share the principles behind its automated store replenishment process built on Anaplan. The model integrates web order pick in store flows into stock target calculations, accounts for commercial campaigns and enables rapid response to demand fluctuations. With Anaplan, stock recalculation runs at a higher frequency, leading to improved product availability in stores.

Optimising omnichannel distribution in a demanding network

Integrating Web and Retail needs into a single model helps align priorities, reduce overstocks and improve sell through.

L’OCCITANE will highlight the improvements achieved through centralised business rules, demand simulation and tighter synchronisation between channels.

First steps toward a sustainable Supply Chain

Beyond operational performance, brands must now factor environmental impact into their logistics decisions. OneHive will demonstrate its proprietary solution HiveWay, an Anaplan based application dedicated to sustainable planning.

HiveWay enables the modelling and comparison of logistics scenarios based on carbon emissions, distances travelled, transport modes and warehouse locations.

A concrete return of experience for Retail players

Josep Gonzalo Torrent will share a hands on perspective on the ongoing transformation at L’OCCITANE, presenting key learnings from the deployment of Anaplan models and the benefits observed for both operational teams and overall Supply Chain steering.
