What is DemandCaster?
What is DemandCaster? from Ara Surenian on Vimeo.
DemandCaster® helps manufacturers and distributors deliver on the real-time demands of today’s customers.
DemandCaster® is a comprehensive demand and supply planning, optimization, and replenishment software as a service that translates business data into optimal demand and supply plans that drive smarter, more effective sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes and improved financial performance.
DemandCaster® combines forecasting, resource planning, business intelligence, and collaboration to improve customer service and cash flow at a fraction of the cost of expensive systems built for larger companies.
Built from a practioner’s perspective
DemandCaster helps identify the business issues that undermine business performance. We don’t sell theoretical reports that sit on desktops; instead, we help you build working blueprints that support your operational and financial goals.
We also understand that effective demand and supply planning is dependent on many inter-related operating processes. Using data-driven knowledge, we help you evaluate the inter-dependencies in your operation and, when applicable, help you re-engineer your processes to maximize operating performance.
Empowering small- to mid-sized companies
Smaller companies are stretched thin these days, struggling to align demand and supply plans with financial and operations objectives. DemandCaster® helps small– to medium-sized companies harness their business data to build robust and effective demand, supply, and sales and operations planning capabilities, in-house, and at a fraction of the cost of systems built for larger companies.
Picking up where ERP systems leave off
DemandCaster® offers a key advantage that ERP systems don’t address: Insights into the risks that undermine business profitability—and those key variables that drive competitiveness in the marketplace.
Customers have never been more demanding. To meet those increasing customer demands, smaller companies have to work smarter and more efficiently. They need better visibility into their production inventories, internal operations, and supply chains. They need to collaborate not only internally but externally. Only then can they make informed decisions for every changing situation.
Our ApproachDemandCaster® was developed by Cadent Resources, Inc. from an industry practitioner’s perspective. Intuitive and easy to use, we built DemandCaster® based on the needs and perspectives of our customers. DemandCaster® relies on the most advanced technology available, but we’re proud to say it’s the result of over 50 collective years of real-world operation’s experience. |
MethodologyDemandCaster® follows a logical Plan-Perform-Respond methodology in the spirit of Plan, Do, Check, and Act. It combines forecasting and analytics with the Laws of Supply Chain Physics to optimize demand and supply planning decisions made every day. Optimal decisions require trade-offs among priorities. Such trade-offs are linked to three business laws that constrain what can realistically be achieved, without negatively affecting other performance goals. |
