See How AI Is Changing the Demand Planner's Day

Thursday September 3rd, at 11 AM PST

Western Computer teal webinar

A 30-minute session for distribution planners and operations leaders, with a first look at an AI agent inside the planning workflow.

If your planners still start the day rebuilding spreadsheets, this session is worth half an hour. We will walk through what a demand planner's day looks like now, and how AI is quietly taking the manual work off their plate.

Then we will show you a first look at StockIQ's AI-forward app and its agent working inside the planning process: watching the data, drafting the forecast, and recommending the buy, with a planner still in charge. It works on the ERP you run today, legacy systems included.

Western Computer has spent nearly 40 years and more than 1,750 implementations helping distributors get more out of their technology.

What You'll Learn 

  • What a demand planner's day looks like once AI handles the repetitive work
  • Where AI genuinely helps in planning today, and where it does not yet
  • A first look at an AI agent working inside a planning system
  • How to get started without replacing your current ERP
