Margin-Aware Decision Intelligence for Illinois Tool Works

Manufacturing

Distribution

Illinois Tool Works needed reliable way to connect demand planning and SCM decisions to financial outcomes to effectively prioritize the actions and decisions that actually moved margin. KINETIQ built an S&OP and financial analytics control tower on Microsoft Fabric, unifying demand, supply, and financial data into a single platform with margin-aware analytics. The result: tighter alignment between operational execution and EBITDA.

The Starting Point

Illinois Tool Works, a $14B global industrial manufacturing company with a diversified portfolio of products and supply chain operations, had limited ability to connect demand planning, supply chain decisions, and financial impact. Operational decisions were not consistently tied to margin, making it difficult to prioritize actions that actually drove profitability.

Our Approach

We built an S&OP and financial analytics control tower on Microsoft Fabric, unifying demand, supply, and financial data into a single platform. This enabled real-time visibility into demand signals and operational performance, with margin-aware analytics to guide decision-making across the supply chain.

The Impact

Improved ability to respond to demand changes and supply chain variability. Enabled margin-aware decision-making across operations. Increased alignment between operational execution and financial outcomes, contributing to EBITDA growth.
