C3 AI Demand Planning
c3.ai
What it is
C3 AI Demand Planning helps demand planners and business leaders create forecasts across levels of detail and changing market conditions, then align teams around one demand plan. Continuously learning AI models forecast across time horizons, including new products and sparse or intermittent demand, while reconciling top-down and bottom-up forecasts without manual tuning. The application combines ERP and enterprise data with market indices, weather, and geopolitical inputs. Forecasts include model rationale and SHAP feature drivers in an evidence package for explanation and auditability. Intelligent agents support what-if planning by detecting anomalies and incorporating news feeds, macroeconomic indices, and market events. Bi-directional ERP and planning integrations support automated and human-in-the-loop workflows. Deployment can be C3 AI-managed or customer-managed on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. Security includes role-based access, SAML 2.0 or OIDC single sign-on, and OAuth 2.0 authorization. Pricing is available on request.
