Encompass Group Gains Accuracy With Demand Solutions

Encompass Group, a manufacturer of reusable textiles, professional apparel, therapeutic support surfaces and disposable medical products, needed a planning tool.

Demand Solutions offered a cost-effective system for collaborating with vendors and customers, allowing Encompass to optimize costs within the IT budget. Encompass Group selected Demand Solutions so that it could gain better control of their inventory and planning processes which had been limited due to unsophisticated computer systems. The results were increased sales and significant margin gains with a strong ability to forecast accuracy and profits.

The Demand Solutions team conducted the full implementation of its forecast management software in less than 30 days, and Encompass Group experienced a ROI in just five months.

Some of the immediate benefits experienced included:
  • Inventory reduction by 10%
  • Increase in inventory turns by 20%
  • Boost in global fill rates by 5%
