One of the most important benefits of inventory management software is the ability to accurately schedule for customer demand. If you're unable to meet your client's volume requirements for a new promotion or product, you will lose business. A manufacturer that can adapt quickly and plan well for its customers' needs will thrive. Enterprise resource planning solutions help small to medium manufacturers to make these smart forecasting decisions.

Accuracy

According to TechTarget, proper demand planning through ERP tools can "guide users to improve the accuracy of revenue forecasts, align inventory levels with peaks and troughs in demand and enhance profitability."  ERP software lets manufactures anticipate customer behavior based on a number of factors, thus improving the full supply chain. 

The ERP Software Blog notes that demand can often seem ineffective in the supply chain, but the right ERP software can optimize demand planning and help you properly forecast for customer needs. ERP software inputs essential data such as historical sales trends, supplier forecasts, seasonal trends and business constraints to give you the full picture.
