Demand Collaboration Portal

RockySoft’s Demand Collaboration Portal (DCP) is a native Web-based tool for collaborative forecast development. Provides browser based access for working more effectively to collaboratively capture external forecast information from internal and external team members, eliminating the need to coordinate updates through cumbersome spreadsheets. Collaborate to build the most accurate forecasts by enabling everyone involved in demand management to work cooperatively via the Internet. DCP enables synchronized modifications, forecast process workflow and automatic consolidation of plans. It develops a realistic projection of future demand by providing the proper sales forecast feedback, such as visibility into customer buying patterns. Simplify current processes for capturing critical demand information, like promotional events, to most effectively maintain the proper inventory levels and meet customer expectations.
