Problem
Mid-market manufacturers and distributors often rely on multiple spreadsheets, ad‑hoc tools, and informal communication channels for capacity planning and demand forecasting. This fragmented approach leads to slow, error‑prone analyses that cannot keep pace with rapid changes such as new large contracts or supply‑chain disruptions.
Solution
BetterDemand offers a cloud‑based capacity planning platform tailored to companies with $30 M–$250 M in revenue. The solution combines AI‑driven demand forecasting, a continuous monitoring “Agent” that flags supply‑chain risks, and access to an embedded senior supply‑chain expert. Users receive actionable scalability insights—e.g., whether a new Costco contract can be fulfilled—in seconds instead of weeks. The platform unifies data, workflows, and decision ownership, enabling teams to move from spreadsheet‑based planning to a streamlined, SaaS solution with a money‑back guarantee in the first year.
