Create a single, enterprise-wide demand forecast with pinpoint precision.

To exceed customer expectations—and do so profitably—enterprising businesses must anticipate, manage, and shape customer demand. Industry leaders recognize that a forecast isn’t just a number. It’s a probability.

Infor SCM Demand Forecaster enables you to model and test different forecast scenarios to analyze all the options throughout your supply chain planning. It provides just the right combination of statistical muscle with ease of use to deliver accuracy, predictability, and believability in your demand planning and forecasts. The result: a single, enterprise-wide forecast that helps maximize your customer delivery performance, minimize stock, and deliver greater stability in your manufacturing and buying operations.

Infor’s demand forecasting solution helps companies like yours:

• Improve forecast accuracy by 20-40%
• Increase on-time delivery performance by up to 20%
• Reduce stock and obsolescence
• Manage your promotions to shape demand
  

Demand Forecaster offers powerful demand planning and forecasting techniques presented in a graphical environment that allow you to automatically detect seasonality, trends, slow-moving items, unusual outliers, and step-changes in demand. Its statistical engine is “self-learning,” requiring minimal intervention to develop accurate demand forecasts. This flexible, scalable solution allows you to improve supply chain management by forecasting at any combination of product group, customer, or channel and can operate at a single site or across your enterprise. Promotions and events enable you to shape and model the impact of uplifts and cannibalization, while alternative scenarios help assess the impact of these on downstream supply. The result is a fully coordinated demand and supply plan that ensures the highest levels of customer service.
