Infor SCM (Supply Chain Management) > Demand Planning > Collaborate

Enterprise-wide collaboration to refine and complete the demand planning picture.

Exceptional statistical-based forecasting is essential. But industry leaders are increasingly aware that to boost forecasting accuracy and share visibility of the demand plan throughout the enterprise, they must incorporate multiple information owners into their demand planning processes.

Infor SCM Collaborate features a rich, web-based interface that enables collaboration among all stakeholders in your demand planning process. Internally, your sales and demand planners at remote sites are equipped to plan their promotions, events, and campaigns to influence and shape demand. Externally, your customers can contribute to the demand forecast, providing visibility that strengthens your responsiveness. And upstream, your suppliers gain knowledge of your plans that helps improve their delivery performance to you.

Infor’s demand planning collaboration solution helps companies like yours:

• Support an enterprise process for demand planning from all stakeholders
• Incorporate internal and external input from multiple sites to a single demand plan
• Improve visibility of the total demand plan through web-based access and reporting

The world’s largest container box company has seen a 25% reduction in roll-stock inventory after implementing Infor’s solution to develop a single view of demand with input from over 15 facilities and more than 150 people.

Secure, web-based access to Infor’s demand and replenishment planning solutions supports multiple internal and external participants in a collaborative process to improve the accuracy of statistically generated demand plans.
