Features of NetSuite Demand Planning Module

Demand planning helps businesses to create and maintain accurate demand forecasts for their products. Harnessing system data including historical orders, seasonality and marketing promotions allow businesses to make informed decisions about future demand. This helps eliminate overstocking or under-stocking of goods and reduces the risk of lost sales due to inaccurate forecasting.

Demand Forecasting Calculation Options

With NetSuite, users can choose from a variety of forecasting methods, including Moving Average, Seasonal Average, Sales Forecast driven and Linear Regression. Additionally, you can customise the calculation to fit your business needs based on a wide range of historical data.

Alerts and Notifications

NetSuite Demand Planning comes with an alerting feature that allows users to track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as forecast accuracy and inventory levels. This helps businesses to stay on top of their demand planning process and be prepared for any potential disruptions.

Demand Reporting

With NetSuite, users can access real-time reports and dashboards that provide valuable insights into customer demand, forecast accuracy and other important metrics. Additionally, these reports can be easily shared with other stakeholders, providing an accurate visibility into the organisation’s demand planning process.

Inventory Order Automation

NetSuite Demand Planning also allows users to manage their inventory levels more efficiently. Users can set reorder points, define minimum and maximum stock levels, conduct what-if analysis and manage multiple warehouses in different locations. These features help businesses streamline their order process, reduce inventory costs and ensure timely delivery of products.

Multi-Location Inventory Planning

With this feature, businesses can plan inventory levels across multiple locations and optimise capacity planning to ensure their goods are available when needed. This helps streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction.

Allocation Exceptions Management

To avoid supply shortages and better accommodate VIP customers, NetSuite lets users review all sources of supply and order allocations. This way, you can ensure that high priority sales orders ship complete and on time. The system provides intelligent reallocation recommendations to minimise the effect on all orders by taking resources from unallocated orders and fulfilling priority orders first.
