Demand Planning Software
Twelve forecasting models, from Prophet and neural networks to proven statistical methods, compete on every item. Add sales opportunities, plan promotions with an AI assessment, and factor in weather and the economy, all in one demand plan.
Most demand plans are out of date before the S&OP meeting starts.
Demand planning breaks down in the same places everywhere: one model for every product, no view of what's moving the market, and promotions and new products planned on gut feel.
One model for every SKU
Fast movers, slow movers and seasonal lines all get the same method, so bias creeps in and nobody can see where accuracy is being lost.
Blind to the market
Weather, the economy, competitor moves and the sales pipeline live in email and memory, not in the forecast. Changes in demand show up only after sales are lost.
Promotions without evidence
Promotions are planned on hope and rarely measured afterwards, so the same mistakes are repeated next season.
Six things your current demand planning tool doesn't do.
Demand planning in Planamind sits in the same workspace as supply and finance, so the forecast you agree on flows straight into inventory, procurement and the P&L.
New-age machine learning, alongside proven statistical models
Twelve models compete for every item and location: Prophet, Theta and MLP neural networks alongside Holt-Winters, ARIMA, Croston's method for intermittent demand, regression with seasonality and more, plus an ensemble that blends the top three. The best fit is selected automatically.
Add the demand your history can't see
New customers, tenders and large deals don't show up in past sales. Add them as opportunities with a pipeline stage and win probability, phase them as a one-off or a ramp, and add them on top of the baseline or net them against it.
Know exactly where accuracy can improve
Planamind hides the last six months, forecasts them blind and checks which model would really have been right. Where a high-value item is missing by more than 15% and a better model is proven, you see the current error, the projected error and the value of closing the gap. Nothing changes until a planner clicks Apply.
Plan promotions with evidence, then measure what they really delivered
Plan a promotion at any product, location or customer level. Planamind estimates price elasticity from your history to suggest the discount, and shows margin, stock, stockout risk, weather and nearby events alongside expected ROI. After the promotion, it measures net incremental volume after forward-buying and cannibalisation.
A real baseline for new products from day one
Map the history of a predecessor or similar item to a new product, with a configurable share and overlap period, so replacements and range extensions start with a grounded forecast instead of a guess.
Weather, the economy and market trends, built into the plan
Planamind brings in historical and seasonal weather, macroeconomic and market indicators from publicly verifiable sources, search and trade trends, holidays and events. Apply their impact to the forecast as a scenario.
- Review and override at any level of the product, location and channel hierarchy
- Every override records who changed it, when and why
- Comments, @mentions and tasks on any part of the plan
Changes in demand, flagged before they cost you sales.
Ana watches the plan on every screen and recommends what to do next.
Competitor out of stock
Brand X is out of stock in 3 regions. Ana recommends lifting the forecast on 5 SKUs by 15–20% for 6 weeks.
Revenue 8% below AOP in the North
Division North is behind its AOP through Q3. Ana sets out best- and worst-case scenarios and the actions most likely to close the gap.
Illustrative examples
The story behind the numbers, written for you. Any other view, built by you.
Planamind turns planning data into decisions: AI-written reviews that explain what changed and where to act, and reporting tools that let planners, finance and leadership answer their own questions without waiting for IT.
A written review of the month, ready before the meeting
Ana writes the commentary: demand changes, explained and unexplained anomalies, promotions and mix shifts, stock position, and the impact of weather, the economy and competitors. It ends with where to intervene by SKU and location, plus the opportunities and risks to year end. Download it as a branded PDF.
Prioritised actions on revenue, stock and accuracy
Revenue gap, stock health and forecast accuracy each come with Ana's analysis and a prioritised action list. The revenue gap view adds best- and worst-case scenarios for closing the gap to AOP, and accuracy diagnostics explain in plain English why the forecast missed.
Build your own view, no analyst needed
Drag and drop demand and supply data into a pivot: choose rows, columns and filters, switch to charts, add your own formula columns, and save views for yourself or the whole project. Export any view to Excel, or pick from around 18 ready-made reports.
Ask a question in plain English
On every screen, ask Ana about demand, accuracy, supply, freight, promotions, finance or a single SKU. She answers from your live data and only shows each user the products and locations they are allowed to see.

“Asian Paints International Business was conducting demand forecasting centrally for all the units across different countries. There was a need to decentralize the demand planning exercise and enable each unit. The interface is user friendly and intuitive which was a plus point considering personnel with different backgrounds are using it in different countries.”
