Got it.
- turn 5 · 0:55 · 0:55 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
Meridian did our labour scheduling two years
- turn 6 · 1:00 · 1:00 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28

So the scope. Bakery came out of the December go-live with the... percent of it is bake-off, which
- turn 14 · 1:41 · 1:41 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28
Right.
- turn 15 · 1:44 · 1:44 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
is a production plan rather than,
- turn 16 · 1:51 · 1:51 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
Yes.
- turn 17 · 1:54 · 1:54 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
an order.
- turn 18 · 1:59 · 1:59 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28
Right.
- turn 19 · 2:00 · 2:00 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
Yeah so, which what I said in the very first meeting, in March last,
- turn 20 · 2:07 · 2:07 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
Yes.
- turn 21 · 2:09 · 2:09 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
year.
- turn 22 · 2:13 · 2:13 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
so You did.
- turn 23 · 2:17 · 2:17 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
Mm-hm.
- turn 24 · 2:20 · 2:20 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
I am going to keep saying it.
- turn 25 · 2:31 · 2:31 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
Yes.
- turn 26 · 2:32 · 2:32 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28
What is the split by store format?
- turn 27 · 2:38 · 2:38 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
Yeah.
- turn 28 · 2:41 · 2:41 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
It varies. The big stores, bake more.
- turn 29 · 2:51 · 2:51 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28
Do you have it by format?
- turn 30 · 2:57 · 2:57 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
I have it in a spreadsheet.
- turn 31 · 3:03 · 3:03 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28
Of course you do.
- turn 32 · 3:07 · 3:07 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
Hmm. Nadia, can you walk so... interface points?
- turn 33 · 3:24 · 3:24 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
Sure.
- turn 34 · 3:26 · 3:26 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
Okay so. Yes. So the production plan needs a demand signal from us, and then whatever Meridian builds consumes it. The question...
- turn 35 · 3:45 · 3:45 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
Mm.
- turn 36 · 3:49 · 3:49 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
is where the boundary
- turn 37 · 3:56 · 3:56 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
Right.
- turn 38 · 3:58 · 3:58 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
sits.
- turn 39 · 4:05 · 4:05 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28
We would prefer to consume a forecast and own the plan.
- turn 40 · 4:10 · 4:10 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
That works for us.
- turn 41 · 4:14 · 4:14 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
Yes.
- turn 42 · 4:18 · 4:18 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
On timelines,
- turn 43 · 4:23 · 4:23 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
Sure.
- turn 44 · 4:24 · 4:24 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
we have capacity from March. Before that Nadia is on another account until —
- turn 45 · 4:34 · 4:34 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
I mean, marco.
- turn 46 · 4:37 · 4:37 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28
Okay, yeah.
- turn 47 · 4:38 · 4:38 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
so Sorry, yes. We have capacity from March.
- turn 48 · 4:44 · 4:44 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28
Yes.
- turn 49 · 4:45 · 4:45 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
But, is there a problem?
- turn 50 · 4:50 · 4:50 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
Yeah.
- turn 51 · 4:51 · 4:51 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
No. I was about to say something about another customer's schedule and I should not, with Meridian in the room. Nothing sinister, it is just not mine to share.
- turn 52 · 5:09 · 5:09 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28
I mean, i mean We are used to it.
- turn 53 · 5:18 · 5:18 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
Fine.
- turn 54 · 5:25 · 5:25 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28
So... Can I ask
- turn 55 · 5:36 · 5:36 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
Yeah.
- turn 56 · 5:39 · 5:39 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28
what happened with the December go live? We were told it went well but not much beyond that.
- turn 57 · 5:52 · 5:52 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
Yeah.
- turn 58 · 5:53 · 5:53 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
It went
- turn 59 · 5:58 · 5:58 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
Yeah.
- turn 60 · 5:59 · 5:59 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
well.
- turn 61 · 6:04 · 6:04 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
Exactly.
- turn 62 · 6:05 · 6:05 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
It went well and I will give you the honest version because you need
- turn 63 · 6:17 · 6:17 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
Sure.
- turn 64 · 6:20 · 6:20 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
it to plan. Produce and,
- turn 65 · 6:24 · 6:24 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
Right.
- turn 66 · 6:26 · 6:26 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
dairy are working. The DC-2 feed still fails, less often than it did, and when
- turn 67 · 6:37 · 6:37 Sofia Almeida 2026-01-28
Mm.
- turn 68 · 6:40 · 6:40 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
it fails my planners stop trusting the numbers for a day or two afterwards. So if you are building on top of this, build assuming the
- turn 69 · 7:00 · 7:00 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28
Yeah.
- turn 70 · 7:01 · 7:01 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28
1 second feed is imperfect.
- turn 71 · 7:05 · 7:05 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28
Okay.
- turn 72 · 7:06 · 7:06 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28
That is useful. Thank you.
- turn 73 · 7:11 · 7:11 Ruth Oyelaran 2026-01-28
How often is less often?
- turn 74 · 7:14 · 7:14 Lena Fischer 2026-01-28 · cited by dc2-still-failing
Hmm. Priya is not here. Once a fortnight, roughly.
- turn 75 · 7:27 · 7:27 Ivan Petrov 2026-01-28

to read.
- turn 87 · 8:18 · 8:18 Nadia Haddad 2026-01-28
Why?
- turn 88 · 8:24 · 8:24 Marco Rossi 2026-01-28
