Demand Planning

If most companies could read their customers’ minds, their biggest challenges would be over. They would never see overstock, and they would never be oversold -- success would be a given. Unfortunately, no company has a crystal ball.

Representing a quantum leap in forecasting and demand planning technology, Demand Commander helps manufacturers and distributors better predict, understand, manage, and adapt to customer demand to grow revenues and increase profit. It helps companies plan the optimal balance between supply and demand.

Built on Foresight Technologies’ Interactive Neural Computing software, Demand Commander brings your system's data-based learning together with user instinct and experience for the first time in a supply chain application. In the planning module, forecasted demand is automatically compared with current inventory to determine net requirements – for every item and every customer at every location.

Demand Commander offers:

Demand Factor Learning – Through constant testing and evaluation, our software creates a universe of data for every product/location combination, reduces it to what is relevant, looks for relationships, and then applies these relationships to the forecast
Model Creation & Competition – Models compete to be the best using proprietary intelligent optimization techniques. Foresight creates its own non-linear models for complex scenarios and then submits the best/most accurate forecast for that item.
Consensus Building – With Demand Commander, everyone in the organization (including partners and suppliers) can see the forecast, and easily add to it what they know to be different (i.e. price changes, supply constraints, promotions, etc.), building better consensus from the outset.
