# Acme Manufacturing – Q3 Business Review ## Executive Summary Acme has achieved strong momentum this quarter, reaching 78% platform adoption and delivering measurable supply chain improvements. Inventory turns improved 12% YoY, and the newly deployed forecasting module is now active across 6 of 8 locations. We've exceeded our Q2 commitments and are well-positioned to unlock deeper value in Q4. ## Performance Against Goals **Adoption:** 78% monthly active users (target: 75%) ✓ - Exceeded goal by 3 percentage points following forecasting module launch and structured training in July. **Support Efficiency:** 43% reduction in support tickets (8 vs. 14 in Q2) ✓ - Indicates improved product familiarity and reduced friction as users gain confidence. **Business Impact:** 12% YoY improvement in inventory turns - Directly attributable to demand forecasting visibility; estimated annual savings of $18,000–$24,000 in carrying costs. **Customer Satisfaction:** NPS improved to 42 (from 38) - Positive trend; continued focus on onboarding and feature education will drive further gains. ## Wins & Risks **Wins:** 1. Forecasting module adoption across 75% of locations ahead of schedule 2. Significant reduction in support burden; team now has capacity for strategic initiatives 3. Measurable ROI: 12% inventory turn improvement translates to tangible cost savings **Risks:** 1. **Stakeholder Transition:** VP Supply Chain promotion means new primary contact (Operations Manager). Recommend a 30-minute transition call to ensure continuity and reset expectations. 2. **Uneven Location Adoption:** 2 of 8 locations still not using forecasting module. Root cause unknown; may indicate local resistance or capability gaps. ## Q4 Priorities & Next Steps 1. **Custom Reporting Build** (Owner: CSM + Product) - Deliver inventory variance reporting by location by end of Q4 - Success metric: Deployed and validated with Operations Manager - Effort: 2–3 weeks; aligns with customer request from August 2. **Close Location Adoption Gap** (Owner: CSM + Customer) - Conduct site visits or calls with the 2 non-adopting locations - Identify barriers (training, process fit, change resistance) - Success metric: 100% location adoption by Q4 end 3. **Stakeholder Alignment & Renewal Planning** (Owner: CSM + Account Executive) - Schedule transition call with new Operations Manager and VP Supply Chain - Discuss Q4 priorities and Q1 roadmap - Begin renewal conversation; position for expansion given ROI ## Recommendation Acme is a high-performing account with clear ROI and strong adoption trajectory. Invest in closing the location adoption gap and delivering the custom reporting feature to deepen stickiness and set up a renewal expansion conversation in Q4.
