Springs Creative

The Challenge:

Springs Creative recently spun off of Springs Global where they were using Manugistics for Demand Planning integrated into an older version of JD Edwards. They needed to create an enhanced environment that would enable them to meet their strategic objectives.

The Solution:

To meet corporate objectives of operating as a separate entity, Springs Creative determined that they needed to upgrade their JDE environment and replace Manugistics with Demantra while remaining on SQL Server 2005.

One of the key reasons for choosing Demantra was its Chaining Management functionality, which would enable Springs Creative to accurately forecast demand for new products. Optimum was able to quickly develop a demand management solution utilizing Demantra in a SQL Server environment, integrated into Springs Creative’s upgraded JDE applications.

This solution applies best practices to all of Springs Creative’s Demand Management processes, ensuring that Demantra is optimized for Springs Creative’s future growth and addressing a strategic objective of improving the New Product Introduction process

Strategic Results:

• Superior Forecast Accuracy
• Substantially improved processes for New Product Introductions
• Enhanced ability to forecast demand amidst seasonality
• Enterprise adoption of the Demantra solution and the ability to expand
