RETHINKING DEMAND PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
The demand pattern volatility we’ve seen since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis have made traditional statistical forecasting models obsolete. With massive swings in demand across industries, businesses can no longer rely on yesterday’s data to manage today’s inventory or forecast tomorrow’s demand. Moving business forward sustainably – by balancing ever-changing customer behavior with ongoing supply uncertainties – requires agile demand planning. Bristlecone’s AI-powered Demand app improves forecast accuracy, aligns planning cycles and provides live demand signals that enable visibility into market risks and opportunities. Learn how one hi-tech manufacturer is using this powerful tool to solve excess inventory problems.
