Teradata Demand Chain Management

Reversing the Supply Chain: Teradata Demand Chain Management takes the guesswork out of inventory planning and control

Behind an easy-to-use graphical user interface, Teradata DCM accesses data stored in the Teradata system. All data generated by Teradata DCM is granular or SKU level, and it can be rolled up into broader merchandise categories or store hierarchies for review and analysis purposes.

"Teradata DCM has provided us with a lot of value. We've seen significant availability improvements where we’re using it from beginning to end, and also stock turn improvements."

Ray Renner, Stock Systems and Support Manager, The Warehouse Limited , Podcast , 2007

Recent studies show that retail industry stock-outs are between 5% and 8% and that overstock conditions — the result of poor forecasts and buys - continue to climb.

Teradata Demand Chain Management reverses the flow of information in the traditional supply chain, pulling information about demand at the store and SKU level, up through the chain, to vendors and manufacturers eliminating out of stocks and deducing inventory carrying costs.

The bottom line: Typical Teradata DCM projects deliver multimillion-dollar ROI and payback less than 12 months after implementation.
