Intelligent Demand Forecasting and AI-enabled Sales & Operations Planning Solution

by Tredence Inc

Orchestrate & drive supply and demand consensus with AI-enabled sales & operations planning (S&OP)

Create a unified view for all stakeholders across the value chain, help them achieve demand consensus, match supply and demand, and leverage accurate forecasts to monitor its execution, so you can equip your supply chain to weather any future disruptions with sales and operations management. Demand forecasting solution is used to accurately forecast demand to optimize the planning of inventory, warehouse operations, and logistics.

Key challenges it can address:
  • Disruptions in operations & resiliency through greater visibility and consensus between demand, supply, and production capabilities that can help them proactively respond to change and plan ahead to save overhead and maximize ROI
  • Internal factors are missed while planning for labor, including tools and resources (number of plants, number of production lines, and open order items).
  • Lack of a centralized consumption layer to visualize the current state and record the shortcomings
