MarineMax? the world's largest boat retailer, is using Cognos* business analytics software to make sure its boats aren't languishing in showrooms, hurting its bottom line. By better aligning inventory decisions with customer demand, MarineMax reduced its planning cycle from 3 months to 3 weeks, cut costs by 48% and ultimately moved more boats.
