Demand Planner
Due to continuously growing requirements on sales planning, it is hardly possible to cope with these requirements with manual planning alone. Planning information is often hidden in countless Excel files and maintained isolatedly by many departments. It is therefore important to have sound sales planning, i.e. a precise assessment of market developments with the greatest possible transparency.

Why is a comprehensive planning tool important for sales planning?
Good sales planning is crucial for a company's strategic orientation in the market. As an elementary part of the supply chain, it must be integrated into all operational processes, and link management and specialist departments with each other. In times of volatile and globalized markets characterized by ever greater product diversity and shorter life cycles, this is a highly complex process. As a consequence, companies need a comprehensive planning tool that enables the management to make the right strategic decisions based on well-founded forecasts and relevant key figures.
