What is Smart Demand Planner?

The Smart Demand Planner™, an innovative tool for demand planning and statistical forecasting, is part of Smart's Inventory Planning and Optimization platform, known as Smart IP&O. This tool, which utilizes the SmartForecasts® Engine, merges strategic forecasting across various levels of a product hierarchy with detailed forecasts for the specific item mix, enhancing overall forecast precision. It lays a robust and unbiased groundwork for your sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes. The collaborative workbench feature of Smart Demand Planner enables forecast overrides, allowing authorized users to apply, import, review, and approve the consensus plan effectively. Furthermore, the system allows for the measurement of forecast accuracy, ensuring that the most reliable predictions are provided for both aggregate data and item-specific levels. As a result, this tool significantly streamlines sales planning, budgeting, production scheduling, ordering, and inventory management. By integrating collaborative efforts, it fosters a more cohesive approach to demand planning across teams.

What is Inventory Planner by Sage?

To keep your best-selling products in high demand, it’s essential to manage inventory levels that meet customer expectations. Release cash tied up in slow-moving or surplus stock to reinvest in your top items. Accurately track what needs to be restocked and determine the best moments for reordering by considering crucial factors such as lead times, out-of-stock periods, and seasonality. Having a centralized view of all your sales channels and inventory locations enables you to ensure timely restocking of essential products, regardless of your business's operational scope. Employ seasonal forecasting methods to enhance your ability to anticipate demand for seasonal items effectively. For products that sell consistently every month, use non-seasonal forecasting, adjusting your analysis timeframe to capture sales trends accurately. Additionally, analyze historical stockout data to refine demand forecasts, as this approach accounts for availability while ignoring times when items are out of stock. By integrating these strategies, you can improve your inventory management, leading to a significant increase in sales performance, while also adapting to market changes more swiftly. Ultimately, a proactive inventory strategy not only maximizes efficiency but also enhances customer satisfaction by ensuring product availability.
