Plan: demand planning

Planning and forecasting for demand-driven supply chains

We connect our clients to accurate, timely forecast-, stock-, order- and shipment data, and help supply chain stakeholders use the facts to take control of production scheduling, better manage shipments, and reduce inventory stockouts and product obsolescence.
