Demand Planning and Inventory Optimization

Imagine a process that not only improves your company's operating performance but also pays for itself as cash begins to flow freely. DemandCaster® is the key to unlock your company's hidden potential.

DemandCaster® is a demand planning and inventory optimization solution from Cadent Resources that couples our demand planning software with the power of human expertise and active support to sync demand to supply. It helps manufacturing and distribution companies optimize their working capital by assuring the right inventory is in the right place at the right time and at the desired level of service.

DemandCaster® is built on the philosophy that software alone is rarely the solution to address under-performance. Software coupled with smart professionals who can interpret data and then apply lean techniques to address operational inefficiencies provides the greatest ROI. We call this hybrid process DemandCaster® Operational Optimization.

DemandCaster® has been designed and built from the ground up to extend the speed and agility of lean with increased visibility to better respond to impending changes in demand. Though no one can predict the future, with our DemandCaster® process you increase your chances for success.

Our 5 step DemandCaster® process to generate cash and profit is easy to implement because it is software as a service and is managed by one of our Demand Management experts.

  1. In less than 5 minutes we install a secure DataConnector service to your server.
  2. We work with your systems administrator to understand the structure of your database and prepare queries to extract the data for an analysis.
  3. Once extracted, an initial raw analysis is performed to establish replenishment settings and service levels, and an understanding of the pool of savings available - "The Size of the Prize."
  4. Further iterations are performed and within the first few weeks of analysis, the realization of free cash flow commences.
  5. A review frequency is established to continually improve the process to keep inventory objectives in line with changing conditions and that our knowledge is passed to your personnel.

When applicable, we identify additional improvement opportunities across your supply chain for further savings.
