Visy's transformation toward smarter planning, more efficiency, and better service

Visy's transformation toward smarter planning, more efficiency, and better service

How do you balance 24/7 paper production with highly volatile packaging demand without eroding margins through excess inventory or costly transport?

That was the challenge, Visy, one of the world’s largest recycling and packaging companies, faced. With over 150 sites and a completely circular business model, the growing complexity was exceeding its capacity to plan effectively.

By transforming its supply chain with OMP’s Unison Planning™, Visy moved from reactive decision-making to proactive, scenario-driven planning. Ultimately, unlocking major efficiency gains, cost savings, and organizational confidence.

Inside this customer story, you’ll discover:

  • How Visy reduced long-distance transport by 80%, cutting significant logistics costs
  • How improved forecasting and S&OP increased service levels while reducing inventory
  • How scenario planning enabled smarter investment decisions and risk-free shutdowns
  • How end-to-end visibility helped balance steady supply with volatile demand
  • How cross-functional alignment boosted confidence and decision-making across teams

From firefighting to forward planning

Visy built a completely new way of working. With integrated planning across forecasting, production, inventory, and logistics, teams can now anticipate change, evaluate scenarios, and act with confidence.

The result: a more agile, efficient, and profitable supply chain.
