Evolve Analytics, a software and consulting firm established in 2004, concentrates on enhancing demand forecasting and supply chain planning for consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies. The firm was co-founded by Paul Argay and Mark Wood, who continue to lead the company. Their collective experience in the CPG and retail sectors shaped the company's direction, focusing on practical solutions for complex supply chain challenges.
The company's core offering is the "Demand Planning and Inventory Optimization" platform, a suite of software tools designed to improve forecast accuracy and optimize inventory levels. This platform addresses issues like demand volatility, the impact of promotions, and new product introductions. By analyzing historical data and market signals, the system generates more reliable demand forecasts. This enables clients, which include major CPG manufacturers, to reduce carrying costs associated with excess inventory while minimizing stock-outs, thereby protecting sales. The business operates on a dual model, providing its software on a subscription basis and offering specialized consulting services to help clients implement and maximize the value from these tools.
A key feature of their service is a focus on identifying and correcting forecast bias, where predictions are consistently too high or too low, a common problem that can distort inventory planning. The software also includes capabilities for collaborative planning, allowing different departments within a client's organization, such as sales, marketing, and finance, to contribute to the forecasting process. This integrated approach aims to create a single, consensus-based demand plan. Through its combination of sophisticated software and expert consulting, Evolve Analytics provides a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to make their supply chains more agile and efficient.
