The structure of the Demand Module is flexible and allows for seamless data flow from any existing ERP system or excel sheet that might be in use.

The Modules advanced forecasting features and visual representation of data provide a rare complete overview of total inbound demand from any forecast in use.

The quality of data currently being used by your organisation does not matter. Through our staging platform Blitz-up data can be imported directly from existing ERP systems or Excel sheets.

If data quality is poor, PLAIO creates exception reports that monitors data quality.

If data does not exist – PLAIO worksheets will create the missing data.

The Demand Module provides statistical analysis through either pre-existing BI-tools or simply with its own analytical & forecasting features.

The Module Detail Chart (MDC) allows users to monitor actual unit/value sales over time against historic and future forecasts.
