The Future of Planning

AI-Driven
Demand Planning Framework

Enabling Strategic Demand Planning with SDG’s Expertise and Technology Integration

The SDG Demand Planning Framework

Our Demand Planning Framework is a proprietary accelerator, powered by Board, that combines proven methodologies, advanced forecasting algorithms, and AI-driven planning to enhance full process accuracy and
create a frictionless demand planning process. SDG solution is designed to help clients anticipate demand shifts, reduce forecast error, balance inventory levels, and align supply chain planning with business objectives.

It provides an integrated, future-proof solution to transform Demand Planning from a reactive process into a strategic enabler, driving agility, improving service levels, and strengthening supply chain resilience and competitiveness.

The Rising Need for Intelligent Demand Planning

Companies operate in a VUCA world: Volatile demand, Uncertain outlooks, Complex end-to-end supply chains, and Ambiguous signals and outcomes.

Traditional demand planning is no longer sufficient: it is often siloed and disconnected from business strategy, fails to manage risk and uncertainty, struggles with phase-in/phase-out products, and lacks the KPIs and reporting needed to surface the truly critical issues.

Without robust Demand planning, companies face:

  • Forecast inaccuracy that leads to excess stock or shortages;
  • Demand vs supply misalignment;
  • Rising costs from inefficiencies across functions;
  • Limited agility to market shifts and disruptions.
