The Challenge
Scaling Just-in-Time Inventory
Founded in 1968 by brothers Jim and Tom Stout with just $300 in startup capital, Coastal Pet Products has grown into a leading manufacturer of pet products, operating a nearly 400,000-square-foot facility in Alliance, Ohio.
With expansion underway, Coastal Pet Products needed more than spreadsheets to manage demand forecasting. Relying on disconnected client forecasts and internal estimates, the team struggled to capture optimization opportunities.
Manual methods made it hard to distinguish volatile SKUs from stable ones—leading to delays, inefficiencies, and excess inventory. As SKU counts grew, so did the complexity of forecasting accurately and efficiently.
