Demand Sensing Agent
Picks up short-term changes in demand from sales and outside signals and updates the supply plan.
The challenge
Problems are spotted late, because nobody has time to keep watching every account, shipment, machine or deadline.
How it works
- 1The agent keeps watch over your data.
- 2Most of what it sees is normal, and it carries on watching.
- 3When something looks wrong, it works out the likely cause and who is affected.
- 4It opens a case in your system and prepares a recommended response.
- 5The right person is alerted, with the evidence and a suggested next step.
Your people stay in control
The agent raises the alert and suggests what to do. Your team decides what action to take.
