Demand Works is exclusively focused on the areas of forecasting, demand management and supply planning, and we support hundreds of companies throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe and other parts of the world. Our customers include manufacturers and distributors of many household brands as well as countless industrial and other manufactured goods. The company's principals are respected leaders in the sales and operations planning area, and the software solutions reflect their innovative thinking.

Demand Works has taken a holistic approach toward eliminating unnecessary cost and complexity without sacrificing functionality or business results. The engineering is top-notch, leveraging the most exciting forecasting and multi-dimensional database and collaborative technologies. Demand Works invented many leading practices in the industry, most notably a technology called Pivot Forecasting® that makes it possible for businesses to forecast and automatically synchronize plans at any level of product, manufacturing or distribution aggregation in real-time.

Even the sales approach has been engineered to reduce cost and wasted time while eliminating risk and maximizing the customers' familiarity with the solutions. Demand Works offers web-based demonstrations and affordable starter editions, and the Smoothie® solutions are so easy to use and powerful that some companies implement them successfully without any consulting assistance.
