The Challenge

Raw material cost is one of the largest determinants of financial performance.

Buying price and local demand shaping are the two levers that move cash.

Procurement forecast input prices. Commercial forecast demand. Independently.

Neither could see what its own decisions cost the other.

No one could see the whole value chain at once.

What Hexight Did

Buy side - market signals feed a raw material price forecast, drivers visible.

Procurement buys at an advantageous point rather than a scheduled one.

Sell side — local pricing, inventory and weather give a forecast per market, per SKU.

Scenarios compared side by side and chosen on cash outcome.

Purchase orders out the other end: what to buy, where, how much.
