What Is Demand Planning?

Demand planning is the prerequisite for a smooth-running supply chain. It’s foreseeing your product demand based on data from your past sales, trend analyses, and more.

Effective demand planning entails forecasting demand and managing supply chain operations, like inventory and safety stock optimization. Based on your product performance over time, you can predict future demand and determine how the fluctuating market conditions affect it. This empowers you to foresee and seize upcoming opportunities, reduce inventory costs, and increase revenue. Effectively add to your bottom line by removing the slow-moving products out of inventory and making space for faster-moving products. The result? Manage your inventory more efficiently and effectively, reduce your costs, and deliver excellent customer satisfaction.
