About this paper

Are you facing the critical challenge of how to predict and plan for significant changes in consumer demand? SAS can help you improve demand sensing decisions across the supply chain – in the short term during the disease outbreak; in the midterm during the recovery period; and in the long term once the pandemic has subsided.

The key benefits for using demand sensing include:

• Increase in sales revenue by improving sensing capability to drive an agile supply chain response to meet customer and consumer demand needs.
• Improvement in transportation planning with preferred carriers, reduction in execution costs by reducing redeployment, and lowering inventory carrying costs.
• Improvement of customer service levels and on-shelf availability of products ensuring consumers find the right products that they want and need.
• Improved revenue/profit through enhanced replenishment efficiencies and fewer stock-outs on shelf.
