Encompass Group Experiences Fast ROI With Demand Solutions

Encompass Group, a manufacturer of reusable textiles, professional apparel, therapeutic support surfaces and disposable medical products, needed a planning tool and selected Demand Solutions forecast management software.

In less than 30 days from the start of the implementation, Encompass Group began to experience the following:

• Inventory reduction by 10%
• Increase in inventory turns by 20%
• Boost in global fill rates by 5%
• Return on investment achieved within five months

Said Barry Hiett, Sr. Director of Inventory Planning, “We could no longer plan with an unsophisticated system as its lack of accuracy was beginning to cost us. We invested in Demand Solutions because of its trusted reputation of increasing forecast accuracy and profits.”

Demand Solutions has a single focus: to help businesses produce goods more efficiently and move beyond the traditional supply chain. They allow companies of all sizes - large and small - to build online social environments where expertise and information can be shared to keep inventory moving forward. Utilizing a "social supply chain" helps lower costs, enhance productivity and stimulate cash flow. As a result, a business can react more quickly to market changes from a position of strength.
