Hillingar Process

With Hillingar's expertise & knowledge combined with the use of premium planning software we offer unique support to businesses needing to achieve and maximise the benefits of a professional demand planning process, without the need for significant capital investment or software installation.

Below are some of the key parts of our process;

COMMUNICATION
 

• Talk with your executives - So we understand your business & identify what matters, key direction, trends & strategies
• Talk with your team - To further develop our understanding & to find out any additional details, in Sales, Marketing & Operations

DATA REQUIREMENTS - We need from you;
 

• As much historical sales detail as possible (Customer Account, Item, Qty, Date, Price, Cost)
• Defined static "Primary" attributes (eg Account no., Item no.)
• Support attributes (Sales regions, Sales persons areas, Product groupings & categories)
• All attributes that you need to group your view of your business
• Campaign Promotion details, items, dates, prices, costs
• Inventory figures
• Budget Information (at any level)
• The ability to extract this data from your system

Don't worry we can help with defining & collating this information.

Please call 0845 64 34 64 3 or email Tim Griffiths or Rob Little for more information or to discuss your specific requirements in more detail.

Business security & confidentiality is paramount. We use market leading encryption software for all potentially sensitive data. We offer secure digitally signed & encrypted transfer & emails. If required, key parts of sensitive data can be "anonymised" for additional privacy.

PROCESS OUTLINE

First we take time understanding your business before our technical process starts. We then take your product level historical sales data and using proven statistical models we calculate a mathematical sales forecast (sales prediction) giving an "indication" of the future. Our process then combines this prediction with your latest business intelligence and Hillingar's expertise creating robust detailed, quantified and qualified realistic future Demand Plan / Forecast.

This plan allows you to analyse and control your business from the very lowest level to the very highest. You can compare the past results & future potential in values, units, volumes, by region, by sales team, by month, by quarter, by year, in fact in almost any level or measure that you would want to see (reliant on original data availability).

Combining this plan with your inventory data we calculate and report on stock optimisation, excess & supply requirements.

By linking your budget information to our sales prediction we present a powerful comparison of the future Budget v Sales performance, highlighting any gaps.

Hillingar summarises this in our comprehensive Executive Report which includes all the key findings, recommendations & potential actions. Because our service is to support your business, not rebuild it, our recommendations can be actioned immediately without capital investment.

Depending on your specific requirements we can also provide:
 

• Additional "Deep Dive" (detailed data analysis) reports, by business area, showing granular detail & analysis, providing highly specific recommendations & actions
• We can organise Executive Review presentations
• We can support your business to fully utilise the information provided, evolving & implementing recommendations
