Demand Planning Software
About
Demand Planning tools aim to generate multi-year reports representing demand orders. The platforms regularly offer the ability to manually override forecasts, as well as the ability to account for promotions. Larger vendors offer broader “supply chain management” suites which include specific demand forecasting modules, while smaller vendors offer one-off demand forecasting solutions. Vendors differentiate by offering user friendly interfaces, and by including features such as data quality management.
