A real innovation in demand planning and forecasting
When we launched Demand Foresight, industries had not benefited from a fundamental advancement in technology in at least 30 years. In fact, the primary statistical models used by all major competitors were actually developed in the 1920s. Given the huge dollar investments made in execution systems starting the 1990s, it seemed to us unfortunate at best that they were executing on demand plans put together on decades old technology and approaches. Hence our entry into the commercial demand management, demand planning and forecasting market place. From our perspective (and the perspective of our satisfied clients) we deliver some very distinct advantages.
Interactive Neural Computing equals better answers
First and foremost, our solution is anchored by a proprietary technology called Interactive Neural Computing. By creating a computing environment that sets multiple technologies in competition against each other, we are able to produce computer forecasts that contain, at a low level forecast error (SKU by customer for example), 25% less error on an absolute basis over any other forecasting engine currently on the market.
This is produced because our proprietary environment includes not only the ‘old’ technology of statistical/straight line modeling but also a number of technologies that allow for non-linear modeling including genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, expert systems and neural nets/artificial intelligence. This is why Demand Commander is able to learn, improve, and adapt over time as it interacts with large amounts of data — both historical and future-looking — future looking data normally external to an organization such as demographics, marketing pricing, raw material pricing trends and financial circumstances such as interest rates.
Built by demand planners, for demand planners
We are business professionals who have deeply experienced some of the same challenges you face today. We are steeped in demand planning and the use and installation of complicated forecasting software — with varying degrees of success. With this perspective, we rethought the business of software: how can we fulfill the promise of the software and provide better performance and a measurable improvement in bottom line performance?
1. An easy-to-navigate and understand user interface to help our users get up and running faster
2. An architecture that allows for unheard-of levels of personalization and customization for your organization, niche and unique competitive needs — all without impairing support or upgrade paths
3. An architecture that allows for rapid installation without an army of consultants, thereby minimizing business disruption and allowing your company to quickly realize positive ROI
4. A business support model that exceeds commonly experienced levels of service, but in such a way that allows for a lower cost combined with more experienced personal support
5. Pricing – we take the confusion out of the model and offer fixed-price contracts that are all-inclusive, contain no surprises, and are backed by a performance guarantee.
Verifiable Performance & Implementation Philosophy
Our software was built on the philosophy that software should deliver unique data views that support the needs of Sales, Marketing, Planning and Operations. Demand Foresight uses data from a host of inputs, such as; customer forecasts, point-of-sale data, sales and promotional histories. Demand Foresight then applies state-of-the-art-modeling technologies that produce unsurpassed reliability in demand prediction.
Subsequently, we have been fortunate to work with a great group of companies such as Imperial Sugar, Seneca Foods, Hain-Celestial, MTD, Lennox, Digi International, AudioVox, New Belgium Brewing and a number of others who have international operations, large sales and planning forces, and a driving desire to greatly improve performance.
We believe we have created a company and a product that finally starts to live up to the incredible potential that is inherent in business software:
• Let companies to do business the way they want to
• Let business professionals focus on the business and not the technology
• Produce measurable business improvements.
Please be prepared to suspend and, in some cases, discard the perspectives and lessons you learned in your previous software implementation experiences
