Positions DS One solution as single solution to enable collaborative planning, management of demand-driven supply chain

St. Louis — October 28, 2004 — Demand planning solution provider Demand Management, Inc. (DMI), has rechristened its flagship software as DS One, positioning its offering as a single solution to enable collaborative planning and management of a complex demand-driven supply chain.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Logility, Demand Management said that regrouping the company's applications as DS One emphasizes the power and flexibility of the software to deliver essential functionality for broad-based collaborative needs.

"With today's focus on demand-driven supply networks, DS One provides everything a company needs to take advantage of this exciting new way to manage the supply chain," the solution provider said in announcing the new moniker.

DMI said that DS One makes it easier to predict what a company's customers need before they need it. The solution offers a time-phased, multi-tiered replenishment system for monthly, weekly or daily planning cycles, and a platform for vendor managed inventory (VMI).

DS One also supports the company's "true collaboration" model for optimizing operations. According to DMI, this model can help companies not only get each planning cycle off to a running start using an application that can be fine-tuned to specific businesses, but companies also can improve efficiencies across an extended supply chain to reduce inventories, increase sales and improve customer service levels.

In addition to DS One, the company offers Demand Solutions Stores, an account management system developed to meet the challenges presented by store-level modeling, planning and replenishment.

"Demand Solutions has excelled in integrating demand data and processes across a supply network for many years," said Mike Campbell, DMI president. "We were the first company to offer a demand-oriented view of operations and unified management of global supply chains, and the first to offer sales and operations planning."
