Reducing Opportunity Loss by ~70% in Automotive Aftermarket Planning
How Streamline helped Uno Minda improve demand forecasting, reduce planning effort, and strengthen inventory performance across its aftermarket operations
About the client
Uno Minda is a leading global manufacturer of automotive components and systems for OEMs, serving passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and two- and three-wheelers across ICE and electric platforms.

About the partner
Anamind is a certified Streamline partner in India, supporting companies in strengthening demand forecasting and inventory planning through structured processes and practical implementation.
Challenge
Rapid growth in Uno Minda’s aftermarket business increased planning complexity and exposed the limits of Excel-based forecasting:
SKU count grew from ~2,500 to ~7,000
Under-forecasting led to opportunity loss
Excess and aging inventory tied up working capital
Manual planning required ~100 person-hours per month
Project
Together with Streamline and certified partner Anamind, Uno Minda introduced structured, AI-driven demand forecasting and inventory planning, replacing Excel-heavy workflows with automated, scalable processes.
Outcomes
After one year:
~70% reduction in opportunity loss
10–15% reduction in aging inventory
60%+ reduction in planning effort
“We had around 8–10% opportunity loss earlier because we could not service demand due to under-forecasting. After implementing Streamline, we’ve seen around a 70% reduction in that opportunity loss.”
