British Telecom | Communications | 85300 | $26.8B | United Kingdom | Orchestr8 | Orchestr8 Demand Planning System | Demand Forecasting and Planning | 2015 |
In 2015, British Telecom began a program to deploy the Orchestr8 Demand Planning System to drive demand driven supply planning across distribution centres, hubs and field stocking locations in the UK and wider Europe. The initiative used Orchestr8 Demand Planning System, a Demand Forecasting and Planning application, to centralize replenishment from real demand signals and align inventory buffers with consumption patterns.
Deployment focused on demand driven supply planning capabilities, including buffer management, replenishment algorithm configuration and inventory orchestration across the distribution network. The Orchestr8 Demand Planning System implemented automated buffer calculation and replenishment triggers to convert point of consumption data into supply actions, supporting operational planning and order generation.
Smart Chain United Kingdom served as the systems integrator for the program, coordinating configuration and phased rollout activities. The implementation covered supply chain and operations functions across distribution centres, regional hubs and field stocking locations in the UK and wider Europe, centralizing buffer rules and replenishment policies for operational teams.
The program began in 2015 and showed a clear go live impact in January 2017, with the system managing approximately 147,000 demand driven buffers. As reported in the case study, the deployment reduced inventory by 20 to 30 percent while maintaining service levels above 99 percent, demonstrating a measurable operational outcome for British Telecom supply chain planning.

Shell | Oil, Gas and Chemicals | 96000 | $284.3B | United Kingdom | Orchestr8 | Orchestr8 Demand Planning System | Demand Forecasting and Planning | 2016 |
In 2016, Shell engaged Orchestr8 to deploy the Orchestr8 Demand Planning System for Shell Lubricants, targeting Demand Forecasting and Planning across its supply chain and operations organization. The program moved from selection in 2016 to a pilot go live in October 2017 and subsequently scaled from regional pilots to a global rollout.
The deployment began with regionally scoped pilots in Europe and APAC and expanded into a centrally governed, global demand driven planning program. Core functional capabilities implemented centered on demand forecasting, demand sensing, forecast orchestration, and replenishment planning to support operational planning cycles and inventory control. Configuration emphasized planning workflow automation and scenario planning consistent with Demand Forecasting and Planning practices, with Orchestr8 providing the application layer and Smart Chain United Kingdom acting as the consulting and implementation partner.
Governance for the rollout combined centralized program management with regional rollout governance, using phased pilots to validate configuration and operational handoffs into supply chain and operations teams. During the rollout Shell reported significant improvements in global operational control, service levels and working capital performance, outcomes documented as part of the program expansion.
