Stay Ahead of the Market through accurate Demand Forecasting and Agile Demand Planning

When your stores run out of stock for in-demand products, you get a horde of unhappy customers who might shift their loyalty and business to your competitors. But conversely, having warehouses filled with unused or unsellable inventory is a waste of capital. Either scenario can damage a business, and experiencing both is a huge financial blow that might be very difficult to weather.

Here is where demand forecasting and demand planning come in.

The ability to correctly predict trends in market demand gives you the foresight to increase or reduce production at the most optimal time. So when the market demand goes up, you have available inventory to satisfy your customers; and when the market’s interest shifts, you’re several steps ahead of everyone else, already in the midst of production if not already done with it, ready to be the first to offer what the customers want.
