Warner Home Video

Warner Home Video leads the industry in sales volume of DVDs.

In the fiercely competitive DVD industry, 40-45% of retail sales are generated during the first week of a DVD release, so companies get only one shot at forecasting product demand correctly. Accurate demand forecasting is crucial to Warner Home Video's success, which is why the company relies on a Teradata Warehouse solution to consolidate data and provide an enterprise view to the sales and marketing team. In addition, unit sales from retailers are loaded daily so data is never more than 24 hours old. Projections are returned in just over an hour, and the Warner team has increased its forecasting accuracy within 5% of actual sales.
