Data-as-a-Product for Supply Chain Analytics Case Study

This case study outlines the implementation of a data-as-a-product strategy by Sigmoid for a leading American food manufacturer facing challenges in inventory management due to inconsistent data across its distribution network. The document details the business challenges, which included stockouts and lost sales, and the need for consolidated data to enable real-time analytics.
