As a result, the ROI for stand alone Best-of-Breed solutions is higher. ◦Survey Details: The research for this report was conducted from February 11 – June 10, 2014. It is based on an online survey among 87 Manufacturers, Retailers, Distributors and Third Party Logistics Providers who have demand and/or supply planning software and know the number of planning instances deployed.
