Utilizing Demand Solutions, Paper Island Ltd. Increases Seasonal Sales by 34%

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Demand Management, Inc., a global resource for managing the supply chain for small and midsized enterprises, announced today that UK-based card and gift retailer Paper Island Ltd. has increased profits through the use of Demand Solutions Retail Planning software.

Paper Island, a subsidiary of History and Heraldry, designs and produces creative greeting cards and giftware for all occasions and seasons. The company implemented Demand Solutions Retail Planning software to reduce stock-outs and simplify the replenishment process of Paper Island products for its main customer, one of the largest card and gift retailers in the UK.

"Shortly after we implemented Demand Solutions, like-for-like sales of our main brand Fizzy Moon® were 44 percent higher in the stores being auto replenished through Demand Solutions than in the non auto-replenished stores," said director of operations for Paper Island Phil McNulty.

Seeking a solution that would integrate seamlessly with the company's current inventory planning software, Demand Solutions Forecast Management and Requirements Planning, Paper Island implemented Demand Solutions Retail Planning. The solution specifically addressed the company's store-level inventory planning problem by utilizing point-of-sale data to automate and streamline the inventory replenishment planning process.

"Sales of cards and gifts for the Christmas season were approximately 34 percent higher than previous years," said McNulty. "Although the quality of designs and products were improved, we believe that the sales increase was largely because of Demand Solutions Retail Planning."

"Many manufacturers are struggling to successfully reduce stock-outs at the retail level because of out-dated, time-consuming replenishment processes," said Demand Management president Bill Harrison. "By implementing an automated replenishment system that utilizes retailer point-of-sale data, Paper Island was able to gain a significant advantage in the competitive greeting card market, reduce stock-outs and increase sales."
