Today we announced that The Guitar Center Company, the largest musical instruments, lessons, repairs, and rentals retailer in the U.S., is extending and upgrading its use of o9’s AI-powered Digital Brain platform for advanced Merchandise Financial Planning (MFP). Guitar Center initially selected the o9 platform in 2016 to address disconnected planning processes, optimize decision-making, and manage sales for both new and existing products across its diverse selling channels. The advanced MFP capabilities of the o9 platform were crucial in helping the company streamline operations and improve efficiency. As Chakri Gottemukkala, o9’s Co-Founder and CEO said: “Guitar Center realized the benefit of investing in a future-proof enterprise planning platform to support its MFP workflow, eliminating the use of various spreadsheets for planning to drive greater transparency and accountability. This frees up its controllers and planners to spend more time making value-add decisions and taking action to execute their plans. It’s been an honor to partner with Guitar Center over the years, and we are excited to be part of its continued success with the extended use of our MFP capabilities.” 🔗 Read the full press release here: https://okt.to/GB8to0 #o9solutions
