Demand-Planning

Too much, too little, too late? Not with data-based demand planning.

You probably know this: too much capital tied up in inventory and/or production orders that cannot be produced because materials are not available. Avoiding overstock and still reliably and timely securing supplies for production is a challenge for organizations. For this, purchasing and production management need best possible transparency of item requirements, availability, and inventory.

But wait: isn't that the task of the planning process? Yes, but... what if the replenishment parameters are not ideally set...?

This is exactly where the new cockpit helps: It determines the future availability balance based on supply and demand and compares this with the suggestions of the planning run. Based on this, replenishment parameters can be optimized and directly adjusted in the BC system.

With our app, you can:
- Analyze: expected availability balance based on demand & supply
- Identify: over- and undersupplied items for chosen periods
- Get notified: when the system detects potential drops below reorder-/safety stock
- Optimize: your replenishment parameters on Stockkeeping Unit level
- Adjust: parameters directly in BC system with a deeplink from the app
