Demand Solutions has a measurable presence among consumer product goods, apparel, life sciences and housewares, according to the Consumer Goods Technology Top 100 Registry.

Forecasting and demand planning software from Demand Management, Inc. (DMI) is used by a third of the largest CPG companies. Demand Solutions is used in four out of the top 20 food companies and four out of the top 20 footwear/apparel producers. In two categories -- healthcare/pharmacy and housewares/appliances -- DMI claims half of all major producers as current customers.

Five DMI customers were in the top quarter of the magazine's list of largest companies, including the third and fourth largest consumer goods makers, Procter & Gamble and Unilever.

"As today's leading CPG companies become more demand driven to meet the needs of their retail partners on a global scale, forecast accuracy and visibility become paramount," says Tim Clark, editor-in-chief, Consumer Goods Technology, publisher of the Top 100 Registry. "The fact that a majority of today's top CPG earners utilize technology from Demand Management to address today's global challenges speaks volumes about the robustness of the functionality as well as the continuing need for companies to better adapt to changing business requirements."
