DEMAND PLANNING SOFTWARE
Anticipate and Respond to Market Fluctuations With Forecasts That Move the Needle

 

Demand Planning: The Entry Point of Your Supply Chain

Everything starts with a good forecast. Every supply chain manager knows this. Demand is the crucial start point for any company’s strategy. It is critical to know your natural demand in order to be able to control and shape it. The tools and techniques needed to shape demand are collaborative and need to be integrated with intelligent analytics in one place.

Modern supply chains face many demand challenges. Product variants proliferate even as we have initiatives to reduce their number. Individual items have shorter life cycles as customers request frequent upgrades or customizations. Items can have complex seasonality, and disruptive high volume low order frequencies. They can be made or assembled to order.

Some can be based on statistical interpretation of historical data, while others, like new products, can not. Consumer goods are subject to continuous and varied promotions. The list of factors to be considered is long, and they need to be gathered together. In these changing conditions, providing a reliable forecast is highly challenging but critical.
