Use Cases
Manufacturing Customer
“We selected Xelocity primarily to helps us to model scenarios to improve our profitability and assess future opportunities and risks around our supply chain.
Xelocity has helped us implement an end-to-end supply chain digital twin has allowed us to model identified scenarios we selected and evaluate the implications on returns for those selected scenarios. In addition, the model has enabled us to run scenarios and look at the effect of these on our ETS outcomes. The model ensures we can assess feasibility of our plans in a timely fashion and delivers actionable implementation strategies, building confidence in our decision-making process.
The model underwent thorough validation against our internal reporting, instilling trust in its results and recommendations. Xelocity’s specialist team captured our organization's complexity, with co-development with our team, particularly in manufacturing activities and drivers, providing improved accuracy in fully attributed activity-based costing to assist with product and customer offering return analysis
The model, using our data, improved our insights and subsequent analysis lead to insights to improve our data quality with Xelocity’s data science techniques. This gave us trust in our data. Most importantly, the model uncovered opportunities with a substantial percentage increase in profitability.
We highly recommend Xelocity’s specialist knowledge and supply chain and data science skills. They helped us build trust in the model and its recommendations and allowed us to better apply our business knowledge.”
Services Sector Customer
Inventory Review and Rollout
A large services organisation engaged Xelocity to conduct an independent review of an Inventory Management System rollout ahead of a board-level funding request for full deployment across their network.
Xelocity delivered a structured assessment of the programme to date, identifying key risks that had not been fully understood or addressed, along with practical, actionable solutions to mitigate those risks and strengthen overall delivery. As part of this review, Xelocity identified an alternative implementation approach that significantly reduced both the projected timeline and associated costs — offering a more efficient pathway to achieving the intended business outcomes.
Beyond the review itself, Xelocity provided experienced, well-rounded resources with deep expertise across governance, programme and project management, and operational delivery. Working across all levels of the organisation, the team took a hands-on approach that improved project stability, clarified priorities, and accelerated progress — placing the programme on a materially stronger footing ahead of the board presentation.

Enhancing Agricultural Supply Chain Efficiency with Digital Twin
Company Profile: A prominent player in the agricultural sector, this New Zealand-based company boasts a robust revenue stream of NZ$800 million.
Challenge: As with many companies in the dynamic agriculture sector, managing cash flows, operational expenditures, and inventory in a cost-effective manner remained a challenge. Additionally, launching new products necessitated rigorous simulations to predict market responses and adapt inventory strategies accordingly.
Solution: Implementing a supply chain digital twin, the company was able to simulate various scenarios for its supply chain operations. This allowed the company to:
Optimize Cash Flow: Through detailed simulations, the best-case scenario identified potential cash flow savings of a whopping NZ$113 million.
Reduce Operational Expenditure: The digital twin highlighted an ideal inventory profile, which when adopted, predicted a yearly operational expenditure reduction of NZ$18 million. The simulations broke down these savings further, showcasing a potential reduction in carrying costs by $13 million and transport & handling costs by $5 million.
Strategic Product Introduction: The digital twin didn't just stop at current operations. Simulations were carried out to understand the potential effects and market dynamics of introducing new products. This foresight provided a clear path for strategic product roll-outs.
Inventory Policy Visualization: One of the standout features was the ability to visualize the effectiveness of various inventory policies. Not just from a capacity standpoint, but also from a critical financial perspective, ensuring stock levels were optimized for both operational efficiency and financial prudence.
Outcome: With thedigital twin, the company was not only able to identify potential savings but also gained a strategic tool for future product launches and supply chain optimizations. The insights derived ensured that they remained at the forefront of supply chain efficiency in the agriculture sector.
