Irvine, CA (November 10, 2003) - Wolverine Decision Technology, Inc., a provider of
collaborative demand management software that improves demand forecast accuracy and
dynamically synchronizes demand with supply, today announced the general availability
of Wolverine2, an integrated product suite for demand and inventory management.
Wolverine2 integrates demand forecasting, promotion planning, lifecycle planning and
inventory management applications on top of an event and collaboration platform that
provides advanced decision support, real-time data visibility, exception monitoring and
intelligent resolutions, and enables collaborative planning. In addition, Wolverine2 offers
a new intuitive user interface that further improves workflow and user experience.
Wolverine2 helps synchronize traditional demand forecasting with promotion activity
planning and product lifecycle planning. The Wolverine Promotion Manager enables
users to evaluate and forecast the impact of the promotion calendar and automatically
integrates the projected results into the Wolverine Demand Manager, which provides a
collaborative planning environment for generating near-term consensus forecasts. The
Wolverine Lifecycle Manager allows users to incorporate lifecycle profiles into the
consensus forecast generation in order to accurately reflect the rapid demand increase and
decrease pattern during the product phase-in and phase-out stages. The final consensus
forecasts will then drive the replenishment and purchase plan generation in the Wolverine
Inventory Manager, which is designed to help enterprises simultaneously align demand
with supply and inventory positions to better manage market share and to enhance
revenue and gross margin.
Wolverine2 allows internal and external enterprise users to share and view demand and
supply information based on their roles in a secure web-based environment. With
Wolverine2, companies can reduce inventories and improve service levels through
collaborative practices. It enables all key business partners to expedite their inter- and
intra-enterprise planning activities, allowing adaptive planning and quick response to
demand and supply changes.
At the heart of Wolverine2 is the advanced decision support engine, which provides a set
of advanced statistics procedures and proprietary solvers that are designed to solve
complex resource allocation problems. Users can utilize the event management
capabilities to monitor key demand parameters throughout the supply network, such as
projected inventory levels, forecast accuracy, etc. Once the system detects the value of
parameters exceeding a pre-defined tolerable threshold, an alert will sent to relevant users
in real-time along with recommended resolution alternatives.
With the availability of Wolverine2, Wolverine delivers a product that is even more
closely matched with what customers need in Collaborative Demand Management both
in functionality and usability. According to CTO Dr. Yuli Chou, "Wolverine2 addresses
the urgent needs of the Collaborative Demand Management market. Wolverine's position
as an innovative and leading Collaborative Demand Management solution vendor is
further strengthened as a result. We will continue our efforts and on-time commitments
toward the next release that will add new functionality in order to support our customer's
business goals".
