In 2013, Enesco deployed ApplicantPool as its Applicant Tracking System. ApplicantPool is provisioned on Enesco's public careers portal at enesco.applicantpool.com and serves as the primary application intake channel for external candidates.
The implementation centers on core Applicant Tracking System capabilities, with configuration oriented to career site integration, online job requisition publishing, application intake forms, resume parsing, and candidate profile management. Standard workflow automation elements such as configurable screening stages, interview scheduling queues, and offer tracking were applied to structure hiring pipelines and maintain candidate records.
Operational coverage includes corporate recruiting and HR teams who use ApplicantPool to manage requisitions and coordinate with hiring managers, with the system surfaced directly on Enesco's website to capture applicant traffic. The deployment leverages role based access controls and recruiter and hiring manager interfaces typical of an Applicant Tracking System to segregate duties and streamline review workflows.
Governance was established around requisition approvals, candidate data retention, and user role provisioning to align recruiting process controls with HR policy. The narrative focuses on implementation structure, system modules, and operational alignment rather than outcomes, which were not specified.

In 2013, Enesco installed Forecast Pro to improve forecasting across a large SKU base for its gift and home décor business. The Forecast Pro implementation supported demand planning in the United States and United Kingdom regions, with vendor case material also referencing UK and Europe operations, positioning Forecast Pro as the primary Demand Forecasting and Planning application for those markets.
Forecast Pro forecasting and reporting modules were the explicit components used, with Forecast Pro providing statistical time series forecasting and standardized reporting to replace manual forecasting spreadsheets. Configuration focused on SKU level demand models and sales history ingestion, enabling planners to generate baseline forecasts and comparative scenario reports that aligned to inventory planning cycles.
Operational scope covered demand planning, inventory management and sales planning functions across Enesco merchandising and supply chain teams in the United States and United Kingdom. The deployment tied Forecast Pro outputs into regular planning cadences, supporting SKU rationalization and replenishment decision processes used by regional planning teams.
Governance shifted to a centralized forecast ownership model where forecasting and reporting in Forecast Pro formed the authoritative demand signal, and planners used the application for cyclical forecast reviews and exception handling workflows. Rollout emphasized adoption by demand planners and inventory controllers in the cited regions, with Forecast Pro acting as the system of record for forecast and reporting activities.
The case study documents explicit outcomes attributed to the Forecast Pro implementation, reporting an 8% sales increase in 2013, a 12% reduction in stock and a 60% drop in shortages. These results are presented alongside the stated objectives of reducing shortages and better aligning inventory with demand using Forecast Pro and Demand Forecasting and Planning practices.
