Office Products
In the office products industry, success means delivering superior customer service, managing short product lifecycles and reducing supply chain costs. As a result, optimized supply chain management is a vital part of accurate forecasting and demand planning.
Industry leading companies like Georgia-Pacific Office Products rely on Demand Commander to solve these critical issues, and more.
While many demand management systems can be thwarted by an overflow of information and business complexity, Foresight's modeling methods thrive on it. In fact, the more complex the selling environment – the better Foresight works. Foresight can take loads of point-of-sale (POS) and vendor-managed-inventory (VMI) data, process it, and then make it available at any level of aggregation, from a total customer or total product views all the way down to SKU by location and/or customer. The result is a minimum 50% reduction in demand planning and forecasting error.
“With Foresight we can make sense of volumes of POS, and customer inventory data, and use it to understand our business, and forecast it down to the SKU and location level. With more accurate forecasts, we will be able to improve our service level with key accounts, maximize profitability and better manage our unique inventory environment.” – Georgia-Pacific Office Products
Technology
In the technology industry, rapid change is the norm. Today’s biggest products are status quo tomorrow. New products, new markets, new customer demands and new financial goals seem to be introduced almost daily.
