New on the Shelf: Demand Planning - A Closer Look Under the Hood

🎉 Demand Planning 🎉

Last week, Confido launched its new Demand Planning Module. For too long, demand planners have been stuck chasing sales teams, reconciling spreadsheets, and stitching together forecasts from multiple systems. This module changes that — giving supply chain and operations leaders everything they need to build an accurate, confident demand plan in one place.

This week, we’re diving into some of the notable features within the module.

• Flexible Planning Hierarchy: Plan at whatever level makes sense for your business — from the DC level down to product, or vice versa.

  • Intelligent apportioning automatically distributes any top-down adjustment across all underlying items and customers

  • Easily regroup and reorganize your forecast view without disrupting the underlying data

• TPM Informed Adjustments: Building a demand plan shouldn't mean jumping between three systems and chasing sales teams every time a promotion date changes. Confido automatically syncs your promotions, opportunities, and pipefills from your trade calendar directly into your demand plan as individual adjustment rows.

  • Start from an unpromoted base and let Confido populate the components automatically

  • Drill into any adjustment cell to see the exact underlying events driving the number

• S&OP Activity Review Board: Replace endless meetings and email chains with a structured, automated workflow for collecting and validating sales forecast inputs.

  • Sales owners review their upcoming promotions and opportunities on their own schedule, with a required reason attached to every update

  • Demand planners monitor progress in real-time and get a full variance comparison at cycle close showing exactly what changed and why
