Solution
Demand planning
Build forecasts from your order history and what your customers have committed to. Purchasing and production plan ahead, instead of reacting to each new order.
What's included
- 01
Forecast from history
Use past orders by product and customer to project the coming months.
- 02
Customer commitments
Add the volumes key customers have confirmed or projected.
- 03
Seasonality
Account for seasonal peaks and dips that repeat every year.
- 04
Materials needed
Turn the forecast into material requirements through each product's bill of materials.
- 05
Capacity needed
See whether your lines and shifts can cover the forecast, and where they fall short.
- 06
Forecast against actual
Compare what was forecast with what was ordered, and adjust.
How it works
- 01
Gather the data
Order history comes in from your ERP or spreadsheets.
- 02
Build the forecast
Sales and planning review the projection by product and customer.
- 03
Plan materials and capacity
Purchasing and production see what the forecast requires.
- 04
Review monthly
The forecast is compared with real orders and updated.
Who it's for

Seasonal businesses
Manufacturers whose demand changes with the time of year.
What you gain
- Materials bought ahead of need, not in a rush

- Less stock held just in case
