What is demand planning vs demand forecasting?

While often used interchangeably, demand forecasting and demand planning serve different functions in the supply chain.

Demand forecasting is the prediction of future demand based on historical data, statistical models, and machine learning. It asks "what will likely happen?"

Demand planning is the broader process that takes that forecast and operationalizes it. It involves aligning inventory, sales strategies, and supply chain capabilities to meet that predicted demand. It asks "how do we execute on this prediction?"

DemandPlan.io unifies both in a single source of truth, replacing disconnected spreadsheets.

Forecasting models: statistical and machine learning

Effective demand planning requires the right tool for the job. DemandPlan supports a hybrid approach:

  • Statistical forecasting: Best for stable, high-volume products. Uses time-series methods (Holt-Winters, ARIMA) to identify trends and seasonality.
  • Machine learning forecasting: Adapts to complex patterns and non-linear drivers. Ideal for new products or volatile markets where history doesn't repeat perfectly.

AdaptiveHierarchy™ forecasting and custom demand dimensions

Pivot your view instantly. Plan at any level.

Traditional planning tools lock you into a rigid hierarchy (e.g., Region > Customer > SKU). DemandPlan's AdaptiveHierarchy™ allows you to slice and dice forecasts dynamically across any demand dimension.

How it works: When you adjust a higher-level forecast (e.g., increasing "North America" by 10%), the system automatically allocates changes down to individual SKUs and plants based on historical ratios (pro-rata disaggregation). This keeps your top-down financial goals aligned with bottom-up operational reality.

Sales planning + S&OP Consensus

DemandPlan serves as the collaborative hub for your Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process. Manage multiple inputs in one view:

  • Sales field input & overrides
  • Finance budget targets
  • Marketing promotion overlays

Reach consensus faster with version comparisons, approvals, and a complete audit trail of who changed what and when.

Forecast Accuracy Tracking

Stop guessing which models work. Automatically track forecast accuracy (MAPE/WAPE) over time by SKU, customer, or channel. Visualize where you are over-forecasting or under-forecasting to continuously refine your models.

Security & Data Controls

Enterprise-grade security is built-in. Features include Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), audit logs for every cell change, and encrypted data transmission (TLS 1.3).
