Decoupling Seasonal Variance from Core Growth
A leading regional retailer in Vietnam struggled with persistent overstocking following the Lunar New Year period. Our initial audit revealed that their internal forecasting relied on simple linear projections that failed to account for logarithmic market shifts during high-consumption windows.

Technical Variable Weighting
- Historical Sales Cleaning Primary
- Currency Fluctuation 12% Impact
- Replacement Rate Weighted
Strategic Takeaway
