Transform the Sales Plan into the Demand Plan through Quick & Easy Variables
The sales plan, based on consumption can be transformed to project how customers order through:
-
Delivery Offsets
-
Stock Requirement Logic
-
"Pipe-Fill" variables
This gives Operations the demand plan they need to ensure product is ready in the right place at the right time.
Pro Move:
Shippers behave differently between the Consumption and the Delivery Forecasts to more accurately reflect how the product moves in the supply chain.
Layer in the E-Commerce and Other Channels to See Your Brand's Whole Picture
Modus Planning's forecast build logic is not exclusively for modelling retail sales. E-Commerce products and rates of sale can be added to co-exist with the retail business.
Retail outlets are also modelled using Modus' bottom-up methodology as offerings rates of sale are tracked.
The foodservice channel is incorporated relying on distributor orders and weekly run rates.
Pro Move:
Add in E-commerce orders on top of retail orders to have both sources of actuals represented.
