Business value

Generative insights in Demand planning help you identify patterns like seasonality, trends, and signal correlations to improve forecast accuracy. By clustering data dynamically, you can make better decisions, optimize inventory, and reduce costs from overstocking or stockouts. These insights help you meet customer demand, improve service levels, and gain a competitive edge.

Feature details

Generative insights for Demand planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management help you analyze sales history and forecast data across dimensions like product and location.

With general availability, generative insights now include a new metric: trends. The system dynamically clusters data based on detected patterns, such as high trending, medium trending, relative flat, and declining trend.
