These days, smaller companies are stretched thin, struggling to manage their inventories and demand and supply planning operations. Most rely on a multitude of disjointed spreadsheets and databases to track supply chain data, and even fewer turn that data into actionable business information.
Larger companies, meanwhile, run entire departments dedicated to those tasks, using complex and expensive software solutions to optimize planning and S&OP processes.
Sound like an unfair advantage?
Until now. DemandCaster® is a supply chain optimization software as a service (SaaS) that helps small– to medium-sized companies build robust demand and supply planning capabilities in-house—at a fraction of the cost of systems built for larger companies.
Developed by Cadent Resources Group, DemandCaster® picks up where ERP systems leave off, delivering a key performance advantage: strategic insight into the risks that undermine smaller-business profitability—and those key variables that drive competitiveness.
How do we do that?
DemandCaster® optimizes performance objectives. Software alone doesn't solve operational challenges. DemandCaster® combines sophisticated analytics with training and customer support, based on our unique methodology—The Laws of Supply Chain Physics. We help customers understand the inherent tradeoffs in their operations, assess the financial impact of their business objectives, and make better decisions, faster.
DemandCaster®—Plan, Perform, and Respond
Plan. DemandCaster® couples forecasting with automated Kanban sizing, MRP modeling, and analytics to identify and optimize operating parameters.
Perform. Test the new planning policies against actual performance to ensure supply and demand are conforming to plan.
Respond. As demand patterns change due to disruptions across the supply chain, DemandCaster® responds by dynamically adjusting operating parameters to deploy resources optimally.
