RELEX Demand Planning forecasts demand and supports planning across merchandising, supply chain, and operations. Its manufacturer-focused Demand Planning & Sensing solution forecasts at SKU/day granularity and can aggregate results across a horizon of up to 24 months. Forecast models can account for promotions, point-of-sale signals, weather, seasonality, cannibalization, and halo effects. For new products, a Product Attribute AI agent matches them with reference products to produce day-one forecasts. Configurable dashboards let planners review, adjust, aggregate, and share forecasts, manage exceptions, investigate anomalies, and examine how demand factors affect results. Users can run what-if scenarios and compare plans before choosing one to execute; the solution also supports demand sensing and product lifecycle forecasting. RELEX describes file- and API-based connections, including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Visma, IFS, AS400, Databricks, and Snowflake. The SAP Connector supports S/4HANA on-premises, S/4HANA private cloud (RISE), and ECC 6.0 EHP8, but not S/4 public cloud (GROW) or ECC versions before EHP8. Pricing is on request, and prospective customers can request a demo.
