When Reality Hits the Plan: Knowing What’s Ahead
Johan van Hemert, Country Manager BeNeLux & North America
Every replenishment decision starts with assumptions about future demand. But demand rarely behaves predictable. Seasonality, intermittent demand, out-of-stock, promotions, external events and product introductions all distort the signals on which planning is based.
In this session, REMIRA shows how AI-supported forecasting help organisations better understand those demand patterns before replenishment begins. We will explore how different time series are analysed, how external factors enrich a forecast, how new products can be forecast without their own sales history, and how forecasting intelligence can be integrated into existing planning landscapes. Drawing on practical experiences from international top-level companies such as Soennecken, Eurobaustoff Zentrallager Nord and WEWO, the session connects forecasting technology with its ultimate purpose: better replenishment, fewer manual interventions and stronger operational decisions.

The Real Cost of Bad Supplier Data
Farid Talhaoui, Country Sales Manager Benelux, Nordics & DACH
Every retailer and supplier feels the "cost of failure" caused by inaccurate item and order data. It shows up as returns, fines, manual corrections, and missed sales. The session will highlight the different stages organizations move through as they close that gap, from fixing data quality at the source to building the governance that stops errors from recurring.
Drawing on a network of 750M+ transactions per year, 33M+ SKUs managed across their network, 400+ system integration partners and 50,000+ subscribing customers, they will show how connecting item, order, and shipment data across an intelligent network can be leveraged into an efficient supply chain operation.
