What it is
RELEX Demand Planning forecasts demand for planning across merchandising, supply chains, and operations. Its manufacturer-focused Demand Planning & Sensing supports SKU/day forecasts, aggregated up to a 24-month horizon, along with demand sensing and product lifecycle forecasting. Models can account for promotions, point-of-sale signals, weather, seasonality, cannibalization, and halo effects. For new products, a Product Attribute AI agent matches them with reference products to create day-one forecasts. Configurable dashboards let planners review, adjust, aggregate, and share forecasts, handle exceptions, investigate anomalies, and see how demand factors affect results. Users can compare what-if scenarios before choosing a plan to execute. Connections are available through files and APIs, with named systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Visma, IFS, AS400, Databricks, and Snowflake. The SAP Connector supports S/4HANA on-premises, S/4HANA private cloud (RISE), and ECC 6.0 EHP8, but not S/4 public cloud (GROW) or earlier ECC versions. RELEX lists web as its platform. Pricing is on request; prospective customers can request a demo.
