Master Your Supply and Demand: Introducing DemandSync
If you are an existing NetSuite customer or looking to join the ecosystem, you likely know that NetSuite ERP is a powerhouse for execution—managing orders, inventory levels, and financial transactions. But where does your planning happen?
For too many growing organizations, the answer is still offline in disconnected spreadsheets.
Bryant Park Consulting (BPC) is changing that narrative with DemandSync, a holistic and scalable demand and supply planning solution built directly on NetSuite Planning & Budgeting (NSPB).
What is DemandSync?
DemandSync is a purpose-built solution designed to modernize how companies forecast and plan. It serves as a unified framework that gives teams real visibility and control without relying on disconnected spreadsheets or third-party applications.
By centralizing planning within NSPB, DemandSync allows your team to plan upstream with confidence while keeping your NetSuite ERP focused on what it does best: execution.
Why Move Beyond Standard ERP Planning?
While NetSuite ERP manages forecasting and MRP based on standard logic and historical data, growing businesses often hit a ceiling with linear forecasting and static lead times.
DemandSync extends NetSuite’s capabilities by introducing:
Smarter Forecasting: Moving from simple history-based models to statistical and driver-based forecasting.
Scenario Modeling: Replacing limited manual overrides with multi-scenario "what-if" modeling that ties operational decisions directly to financial outcomes.
Dynamic Logic: Using rolling demand, target weeks of supply (WOS), and hierarchy-based parameters rather than static MRP generation.
Core Capabilities: A Holistic Approach
DemandSync isn't just about guessing next month's sales; it is a suite of connected planning modules.
Retail & Apparel, Footwear, and Accessories
Merchandise Planning
For product-heavy businesses, DemandSync offers robust merchandise planning capabilities that allow you to align assortment strategy with financial targets.
The solution covers the entire merchandise lifecycle:
Top-Down Sales Planning: Set sales targets by channel, category, or season and cascade them down the merchandise hierarchy to guide item-level planning.
Open to Buy: Translate sales and inventory targets into clear buying capacity, dynamically adjusting for receipts, sales trends, and in-season changes.
Assortment Strategy: Manage item-level attributes such as pricing, costs, lifecycle dates, markdown cadence, and channel eligibility to ensure the assortment supports both financial and merchandising objectives.
Bottom-Up Demand Forecasting: Generate weekly forecasts using driver-based and statistical inputs to reconcile with the top-down plan.
Promotional Planning: Model the specific lift from planned promotions and discounts.
Size-Level Planning: Split demand into size curves using historical ratios—critical for apparel and footwear.
Replenishment Logic: Calculate weekly reorders based on projected inventory and lead times.
Allocation Planning
Getting inventory is one thing; putting it in the right place is another. DemandSync allows you to automate in-season reallocation, replacing spreadsheets with dynamic logic that reacts to sales trends. You can balance allocation between stores, e-commerce, and outlets while factoring in store capacity and size profiles. Once finalized, these plans convert directly into Transfer Orders in NetSuite.
Wholesale & Manufacturing
Connected Demand & Supply Planning
DemandSync connects demand and supply planning to support multiple plan versions—including baseline, upside/downside, and what-if scenarios—without disrupting execution data.
Multi-Version Demand Planning: Forecast by SKU, location, and customer or channel, with the ability to create, compare, and archive demand plan versions over time.
NetSuite-Driven Valuation: Leverage NetSuite pricing and costing to value demand consistently across scenarios.
BoM-Aware Dependent Demand: Support complex Bills of Materials and Kit/Package Items to accurately translate finished-goods demand into component and part-level requirements.
Supply & Replenishment Planning: Automate replenishment logic by accounting for open POs, forecast consumption, and projected on-hand inventory.
Order Recommendations: Generate recommended Work Orders and Purchase Orders for finished goods, along with Purchase Orders for components and parts.
Transfer Planning: Support inventory transfers between locations as part of the overall supply plan.
Risk & Inventory Planning
Proactively identify inventory exposure across the network.
DemandSync highlights shortages, excess inventory, and timing risks while providing clear inventory value reporting to support working capital management and informed supply decisions.
The "Sync:" FP&A Alignment
The true power of DemandSync lies in its ability to bridge operations and finance. Unlike standalone operational tools, DemandSync ensures that your demand and supply plans are tied directly to revenue, COGS, and margin forecasts. This provides leadership with cash flow and working capital visibility driven by real-time inventory and purchasing data.
