Webinar Replay: From Forecasts to Strategic Decisions - Bridging the Distributor-Supplier Gap

This webinar was recorded on 11-5-2025.

In today’s supply landscape, distributors and suppliers often operate in silos—distributors forecast based on what they expect to sell, while suppliers produce based on outdated demand signals. The result is a widening gap marked by stockouts, excess inventory, long lead times, and missed opportunities.

In this webinar replay, ADP and Blue Ridge reveal how they closed that gap by creating a connected planning model. By transmitting daily, item-level projections directly from distributors into ADP’s production planning systems, they achieved real-time visibility into true demand. This automation not only improved forecast accuracy to 96% but also reduced lead times by 70% and freed over $1 million in working capital.
