Teradata Corporation announced the latest release of its Teradata Demand Chain Management software, which forecasts consumer demand and synchronizes inventory to match it. The solution is available now, from Teradata Applications. Teradata Demand Chain Management utilizes a 'bottom-up' approach to linking consumer demand with inventory levels and sales forecasts, by item, by location, weekly, and daily. These forecasts recognize historical performance, are deep in seasonal and causal identification, and respond automatically to the latest buying patterns and trends. The forecast is then combined with inventory and replenishment strategies, which serve to pull inventory through the supply chain based on reliable data about expected sales across each location in the network. Teradata's latest Demand Chain Management release provides: true multi-echelon replenishment supporting both: time-phased automated replenishment and allocation for multiple distribution center order levels; and, flow-through distribution capabilities for replenishment and allocation; additional forecasting models to further extend Demand Chain Management's leading promotional forecasting capabilities; and improved user-interface performance. Teradata Demand Chain Management customers use the integrated forecasting, replenishment and allocation capabilities of Demand Chain Management to dramatically reduce out-of-stocks without sacrificing inventory productivity, making their businesses more profitable and competitive.
