Logility DemandAI+ is a web-based demand planning and forecasting solution built around forecast drivers, demand signals, and prebuilt agents. Planners can work with factors such as promotions, events, seasonality, and trends, while anomaly detection identifies irregular historical demand for review and tagging as exceptional events. Demand sensing uses market information and near real-time signals to identify short-term buying patterns. Prebuilt agents can identify products, channels, and regions behind forecast misses, return forecast volumes and demand history through natural language, surface early trend signals, and point to models needing attention. Agents can suggest next steps and handle multi-step workflows, operating autonomously or with human involvement according to planner preference. Organizations can add agents as their needs evolve or work with Logility experts to build beyond the prebuilt set. Logility says the product can be added on top of an existing SAP IBP platform and describes an SAP integration in an S&OP process. Pricing is on request, and prospective customers can request a walkthrough.
