Take Control of Inventory
Leverage real-time visibility and transparency to optimize resources
Often manufacturing operations lack the insights needed to plan and forecast inventory with accuracy. This means when a rapid market or demand shift happens, the ability to remain agile and react with confidence isn't there.
Real-time insights from across the business, coupled with inventory visibility help you act with confidence. All your supply chain planning and production can happen in a single solution. With reduced waste and scrap.
-
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Advance productivity levels and unite the business
Sales & Operations Planning is a cross-functional process that requires a seamless workflow. Without it, you're probably experiencing poor communication across your planning silos.
With Plex DemandCaster Supply Chain Planning, you benefit from integrated business planning that’s communicates bi-directionally with your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
-
Error-Proof Planning
Get real results by connecting planning and production
Deciphering mounds of data into a pragmatic plan isn't easy. You have to analyze the market, understand customer needs, know your production capacity constraints, and match demand to supply. It is a true marriage of the art of planning with the science of contextualized data.
Plex DemandCaster Supply Chain Planning takes the guesswork out of the data for more reliable forecasts and plans. Keep customers satisfied and contribute to your bottom line.
