A high-growth CPG brand was facing persistent in-stock challenges, limiting their ability to meet demand during critical seasonal windows. These inventory gaps were constraining sales potential and holding back brand performance in a key retail channel

Hatchery partnered closely with Walmart to unlock the full potential of the brand’s seasonal program. Leveraging real-time data insights and deep knowledge of Walmart’s operational rhythm, we advocated for strategic forecast adjustments securing elevated inventory levels across stores and distribution centers to enable faster replenishment and shelf readiness.

With Walmart aligned on an improved forecast, in-stocks rose from below 80% to a consistent 95% heading into peak season. As a result, sales growth accelerated from +14.8% in H1 to +28.9% in H2—demonstrating the power of proactive, insight-led forecasting to fuel performance.
