Voyager Demand Sensing

Leverage artificial intelligence and near real-time information to create an accurate short-term, sense-and-respond forecast to increase margins and synchronize inventory deployment.. Voyager Demand Sensing evaluates big data in a structured way to recognize complex patterns and identify actionable demand signals. It captures and analyzes demand signals from internal and external sources, including point of sale (POS), demand signal repositories (DSR), social media, syndicated data and weather, to identify demand trends, provide advanced warning of problems and enable fast and intelligent response.

• Improve short-term forecast accuracy and reduce latency to demand changes
• Reduce the total inventory required to meet customer service requirements
• Optimally deploy and redeploy inventory based on changes in daily demand
• Improve customer fill-rates through agile deployment
