Empire Distributors | Distribution | 10 | $1M | United States | Workday | Workday Adaptive Planning (ex Adaptive Insights) | EPM | 2022 |
In 2022, Empire Distributors implemented Workday Adaptive Planning (ex Adaptive Insights) as its EPM solution to modernize sales and finance planning across a multi-state distribution footprint. Empire Distributors is a wholesale beverage distributor operating in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Colorado with thousands of brand relationships and a requirement for granular, location and brand-level budgeting and forecasting. The Workday Adaptive Planning implementation targeted company-wide planning needs, consolidating sales planning and financial planning workflows into a single planning platform.
The deployment centered on Sales Planning and the Machine Learning capabilities native to Workday Adaptive Planning, including anomaly detection, outlier reporting and intelligent forecasting for sales volumes and associated revenue. Configuration work ingested historical sales volumes for a broad catalog of products to enable model training, supporting continuous planning use cases and the creation of more granular intersections for brand-by-location budgeting. Workday Adaptive Planning was configured to allow users to run ML-driven forecasts with the option to manually edit or override results when product performance was atypical.
Integrations focused on delivering a unified sales and finance planning experience, with the solution configured to push forecasted sales data into other planning instances to maintain transparency across systems. The implementation automated tens of thousands of data intersections for product-level sales, supporting downstream consumption by budgeting and reporting workflows. Operational coverage emphasized finance and sales organizations, aligning SKU-level forecasting with company budgeting processes.
Active Cyber served as the implementation partner, executing a phased rollout that began with a May 2022 kickoff and proceeded through machine learning implementation and data validation in June and July 2022, culminating in an operational shift to the new planning approach by August 2022. Governance changes included establishing historical data validation and model oversight processes, and training finance users to review ML outputs and apply manual adjustments when necessary. Outcomes reported by the customer include reliable ML-populated sales forecasts for chosen timelines and versions, seamless integrations to distribute sales data to other instances, reduced manual forecasting effort and a streamlined approach to continuous planning.
