Capacity module
In the field
Can we say yes to Costco? A $50M manufacturer got a defensible commit in 30 seconds instead of three weeks of spreadsheet wrangling.
Why capacity comes first
You can't forecast what you can't execute.

Tom runs production at a $50M manufacturer. He just landed Costco distribution. Watch how BetterDemand answers: can we scale to match?
The scenario this product was built for
Tom runs production at a $50M manufacturer. He just landed Costco distribution — 23 stores, 14-week lead time, double the unit volume of any deal he's done before. His current planning system: 8 spreadsheets and a Slack channel.
Will production scale? Suppliers? Inventory?
With BetterDemand, he gets the answer in 30 seconds, not 3 weeks.
Where we fit
Free, flexible, breaking down the moment your business gets complex. One person owns the schedule. No one else can run it.
$0 — but the hidden cost is missed orders.
Mid-market capacity planning, AI agent across the chain, and demand forecasting with an embedded senior expert. Sized for $30M–$250M companies. Money-back guarantee in year one.
$6K–$70K/year, all-in.
Anaplan, Kinaxis, o9. Powerful, mature, and priced for Fortune 500 budgets. Implementation alone often costs more than mid-market companies can afford.
$100K–$500K+/year, plus implementation.
Most mid-market companies are stuck choosing between tools that are too small or too big. We built the missing tier.
What makes us different
Most software lets you log in and figure it out. We embed a senior practitioner (today: the founder, with 15 years across Walmart, Campbell Soup, Kimberly-Clark, BMS, and Gilead) who runs your monthly S&OP cadence, owns forecast accuracy, and is your second pair of eyes on every planning decision. No separate consulting fee. No "implementation partner" markup.
Operators don't want to navigate three modules. They want answers. The BetterDemand agent connects capacity, inventory monitoring, and forecasting — designed so you can ask one question ("can we accept this Costco order if Tom's out next week?") and get an answer that crosses all three engines.
$6K–$70K/year for the full platform — start at the entry tier and grow. If BetterDemand doesn't pay for itself in year one, you get your money back. Capped at four new clients per quarter so we can deliver.
JSI Partners track record
BetterDemand was built on 10+ years of enterprise supply chain execution. The same intelligence that delivered these results at scale — now accessible to companies doing $30M–$250M for the first time.
Global inventory reduction led and developed over a 5-year engagement with a multi-billion dollar enterprise.
Enterprise · GlobalRevenue increase from forecasting process improvements — achieved by reducing stockouts and improving service levels while keeping inventory flat.

Compare a month of BetterDemand to the costs a spreadsheet-planned operation eats without noticing.
One planning miss
One expedited air shipment
$8,000 to $25,000A single ocean-to-air switch on one SKU. One event often costs more than a year of BetterDemand.
Two weeks out of stock on a top item
$40,000 to $150,000Lost orders, the substitute your customer found, and the fill-rate penalty from your biggest account.
One pallet of write-offs
$5,000 to $20,000Inventory bought against a forecast nobody trusted, aging past its window in the warehouse.
One order you could not say yes to
$25,000 to $250,000Revenue that walked because nobody could confirm capacity in time. Often the same customer stops asking.
Typical ranges for mid-market operations. Your numbers may run higher.

Mid-market companies keep buying tools to fix forecast accuracy. The real issue is ownership and process. Here's what actually moves the number.
Mid-market supply chain teams make $500K decisions every week using spreadsheets and experience. Here's what that tools gap is really costing you.
Set once during an ERP implementation and never touched again — that buffer inventory has quietly become either a cash trap or a stockout waiting to happen.
A 20-minute demo run against a real mid-market dataset. No data prep, no commitment.
