Decion Demand Planning

What it is
Decion Demand Planning is the web-based demand-planning component of ToolsGroup’s supply chain decision intelligence platform. It monitors operations, evaluates risk, recommends corrective actions, and helps steer decisions toward business targets. Forecasting combines probabilistic methods, machine learning, and real-time demand sensing to represent uncertainty in inventory, service, and supply decisions. Planners can use collaborative planning, demand sensing, demand shaping, scenario planning, multi-location and multi-echelon optimization, safety-stock optimization, service-level targets, and replenishment recommendations. Inventory-aware demand shaping applies pricing and promotions to influence demand. Automation handles repetitive planning workflows so teams can concentrate on exceptions. Connectors and APIs link SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and other ERP and WMS systems. Decion is delivered as SaaS through cloud providers and hyperscalers, with web access, encryption, backups, audit logs, federated SSO, MFA, and stated ISO, SOC, FedRAMP, and GDPR coverage. Pricing is on request.
