ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Demand Solutions, a leading provider of supply chain planning software, announced today it was named as one of the Top 100 Logistics IT Providers by Inbound Logistics magazine.
Every April, Inbound Logistics editors recognize 100 logistics IT companies that support and enable logistics excellence. Drawn from a pool of more than 300 companies, using questionnaires, personal interviews, and other research, Inbound Logistics selects the Top 100 Logistics IT Providers who are leading the way in 2011.

“Efficiency in logistics starts with a good demand plan. With an accurate forecast, a company can be confident that they are planning shipments in the most efficient manner,” said Demand Solutions President Bill Harrison. “The load building tool in Demand Solutions Requirements Planning makes sure that the space on a container or truck is maximized for each load when it leaves the dock, avoiding overbuys, stock-outs, and additional shipments. Fewer, more accurate shipments reduce freight costs and increase customer satisfaction.”
“Increasing operational complexity caused by shifts to demand-driven logistics practices, increased collaboration, and continuing globalization, mean greater challenges for those seeking to match demand to supply,” said Inbound Logistics Editor Felecia Stratton. “It's impressive to see Demand Solutions providing the flexibility and solutions that forward-thinking enterprises need to face supply chain challenges in 2011. For that reason, Inbound Logistics editors have recognized Demand Solutions as one 2011's Top 100 Logistics Information Technology solutions providers.”
