Berwyn, PA (PRWEB) January 04, 2012
Planalytics Inc. announced today that its Business Weather Intelligence® and Weather-Driven Demand information is now available in JDA® Demand. The integration enables companies to include weather intelligence in their demand planning process and more effectively manage the impact that weather has on their business.
Planalytics Weather-Driven Demand (WDD) percentages measure how much weather influences demand for specific categories across specific time periods and geographies. The WDD quantifies how favorable (the percentage “lift”) or unfavorable (the percentage “drag”) that weather has on demand compared to the corresponding period last year. Planalytics WDD information is accessible through the JDA Demand workbench view, a demand planner’s primary interface for reviewing and modifying sales forecasts, and JDA’s exception graphs, a view that identifies the largest forecasted variations in weather-driven demand.
