02
How teams use demand planning in Otiox
A simple rhythm your team can follow each week.
- 01
Start with the baseline
Pull in sales history and open demand to get the initial forecast picture.
- 02
Add what you know
Layer in seasonality, upcoming promotions, and any known supply constraints.
- 03
Work through the outliers
A quick scan of SKUs with high variance or low coverage surfaces what needs attention.
- 04
Align the team
Confirm the planning version and share one number with purchasing and production.
- 05
Keep it current
Refresh each week, compare what happened against the forecast, and accuracy improves over time.
03
What teams get after rollout
Planning becomes faster, clearer, and much less reactive.
01
Fewer stockouts
Critical SKUs are replenished earlier based on predicted demand, not panic orders.
02
Lower excess stock
Slow-moving items are caught earlier so purchasing can adjust before capital gets stuck.
03
Better production rhythm
Work orders follow expected demand and capacity windows, reducing firefighting on the floor.
