Demand-Driven Supply Chain Planning for Healthcare/Pharma

Via demand-driven supply chain planning, we help our customers achieve stable, reliable and very high service levels. We deliver improved short-term forecast accuracy, which is critical to achieving very high levels of service. Our customers are obtaining sustainable fill rates as high as 99+%, yet typically with 20-25% less global inventory.

Our solution starts with best-of-breed forecasting. It features powerful planning models that incorporate internal and external elements such as: market trends, seasonal demand profiles, new product forecasting, promotion forecasting, and returns and substitutions. Demand collaboration brings together demand and forecast data from multiple sources in a web-based consensus platform. It supports both internal sources (such as category plans or marketing promotions) and external sources (such as from POS data). Inventory optimization and replenishment delivers high customer service levels, even across multi-echelon networks. It also addresses Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), Continuous Replenishment Planning (CRP), product expiration constraints and SIOP.
