REDUCE UNCERTAINTY AND DRIVE GROWTH WITH BETTER DEMAND SIGNALS
Benefits to help you sense, forecast, plan, and manage demand optimally
Optimise at a granular level
Not all products behave the same, and most companies are dealing with thousands of SKUs, making forecasting optimisation a tough task. Slim4 automatically identifies the demand profile of each product to apply the most appropriate demand forecasting model.
See your data clearly across channels
Accurate data means correctly segmented data. Without it, it’s impossible to anticipate real demand or to make optimal decisions tailored to the commercial reality of each customer or channel.
Prioritise for profit
Unlock new agility across the customer and channel landscape based on where value really lies. Treating all orders the same is an upshot of manual or legacy processes, and significantly damages profits.
Tackle stockouts and excess
Optimise product availability and tied-up capital, simultaneously. The aim is to improve service levels with less stock, to free up resources and money. Slim4 promotes this perfect balance.
Unlock new levels of agility and resilience
Swift shifts in demand, new product launches, or unforeseen disruptions can only be navigated with dynamic, AI-driven technology. The agility to handle the unknown brings vital resilience and competitiveness.
Revive your legacy systems and integrate seamlessly
ERP systems have limitations when it comes to advanced demand management, but it doesn’t mean they’re redundant. Slim4’s demand management solutions complement your ERP, so each solution is doing what it does best as a harmonious, connected architecture.
KEY FEATURES OF SLIM4 DEMAND MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Built for precision and scalability
Automate product classifications
Identify and categorise each SKU according to its specific demand behaviour. Slim4 dynamically applies the most appropriate forecasting model on a granular product level.
Model forecasts with elite intelligence
Advanced statistical models and machine learning algorithms automatically adapt forecasts according to identified patterns, seasonal impacts, and sudden trend changes.
Forecasting customer demand needs to be done on a granular level. Slim4 automatically classifies customers and channels according to profitability, volume, demand behaviour, and service level criteria.
Detect complex demand patterns with AI and ML
Slim4 applies advanced models that learn from historical data to weigh that information up against real-time demand signals. AI-driven forecast accuracy means planning to probabilities, not just possibilities.
Model demand by channel, product, or location
Slim4 allows demand to be segmented and analysed at granular level. Optimal availability centrally won’t appease local customers if one store is understocked. Customise planning for each segment, shop, or customer base.
Responsive alerts help planning teams identify and resolve issues before they reach the customer. Automated flagging of issues allows your team to focus on higher-priority strategic tasks.
