Without historical data analysis and real-time inventory visibility, they missed opportunities for upselling and bundling, leading to lost revenue. Dealers faced inefficiencies in stocking the right products, while production teams struggled with demand forecasting, resulting in inventory mismatches and supply chain disruptions.
