Creating channels for efficient communication and collaboration between your sales department and demand planning can have great results.
The Institute of Business Forecasting & Planning said, “This allows the organization to capture what we know in current sales levels and trend and seasonality, whilst adjusting it for what we need to know about and anticipated variables as perceived by Sales.”
This transparency between departments allows for realistic goals and expectations to be set across the board. Sales collaboration and demand collaboration in supply chain management are very important. Demand planning is instrumental in growing your company and becoming more profitable, and your sales team can contribute significantly with their “boots on the ground” insights.
