Accurate, one-number forecasting

The ability to foresee, fulfill, and exceed your customers' expectations through accurate, one-number forecasting is key to successful, demand-driven supply chain operations.

SSA Demand Planning is what you need to anticipate customer demand by defined business levels. Use it to create an accurate demand plan by comparing forecasts from multiple demand points; track customer forecasts specific to sales, managers, or budgets; and collaborate with customers by sharing relevant information. Increase your demand planning capabilities while decreasing your planning cycle time.

SSA Demand Planning helps companies like yours:

- Meet cross-enterprise needs with one accurate forecast - Improve customer service - Reduce stock-outs - Decrease inventory costs - Synchronize customer demand with inventory goals - Coordinate inventory with downstream promotions

SSA Demand Planning uses comprehensive forecasting models to automatically generate forecasts ranging from the customer level to the organizational level, with specific definitions for sales, marketing, logistics, and financials. It enables you to "explode" a universal number for your entire organization that allows individuals within separate departments to see the data they need. Finance personnel can view budgetary information in dollars, manufacturing managers in production lots, and inventory managers in units.
