Baseline as a Service (BaaS)
Baselining your forecast is a critical foundation for effective demand planning, yet it’s often overlooked or executed poorly. With our “Baseline as a Service” (BaaS) offering, we help companies streamline their demand planning processes by taking on the responsibility of creating accurate, machine-generated baselines.
Have you ever heard your team say something like: “We are different”, “We are too unique”, "demand baselining doesn’t work for us"? We have, a zillion times...
True cases where forecast baselining genuinely fails are exceedingly rare, though. The root challenges typically stem from other factors such as:
- reluctance to change
- lack of modeling expertise (Knowledge management, people turnover, difficulties to hire)
- over-reliance on outdated tools like Excel
- mistrust in machine-generated forecast (wrong belief that humans are always better than machines)
- fears around automation impacting roles.
Unlike other service providers, our experts have years of hands-on baseline modeling & shaping experience in various industry leading tools. They work within the client's planning tool, ensuring total transparency on modeling choices and related risks, and seamless integration with the rest of the planning systems.
BENEFITS: This approach…
- makes forecasting more accessible and reliable
- builds trust in machine generated forecasts faster
- reduces costs and increases cashflow significantly
- enables our clients to focus their own resources on high impact and more value-adding tasks.
- unlocks enhanced forecast accuracy potentials
- Fosters automation
- allows faster planning cycles. (i.e plan by exception)

Full Demand Planning (FDP)
Demand planning is a critical component of your operations, serving as the foundation for all subsequent steps in the planning cycle. While baselining is an essential first step, achieving an acceptable level of forecast accuracy often requires additional inputs beyond the baseline.
At Aetheris, we offer a comprehensive demand planning service that includes managing your baseline and enriching it with business intelligence inputs. These inputs capture the impact of future events that are known to disrupt normal business operations, such as planned promotions, media campaigns, and changes in market dynamics. By incorporating these inputs into the baseline, we can create a more accurate and robust forecast that reflects the unique characteristics of your business that can be transferred without further adjustment to supply.
Our team of experts works closely with your commercial teams to gather insights into market trends, consumer sentiment, and other relevant factors that may influence the demand signal. It actively collaborates with the S&OP/IBP stakeholders and attends all corresponding relevant meetings.
Typically, we offer Full DP service a backup service to support your team members who may be unable to fulfill their roles temporarily due to circumstances such as parental leave or illness.
Our goal is to provide you with the resources and expertise you need to make informed decisions and optimize your demand planning process.

SERVICE
Integrated Business Planning transformation (IBP) Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)
At Aetheris, we specialize in helping small and medium-sized businesses establish or improve their Integrated Business Planning (IBP) processes to align operations and strategy, as our team of experts has a proven track record of designing and implementing S&OP/IBP processes that meet the unique needs of each business.
While Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) and/or Integrated Business Planning (IBP) has become widely adopted in larger organizations due to its numerous benefits in terms of planning and execution efficiency, as well as streamlined communications and transparency across different company stakeholders, it is still often missing or not mature enough in many smaller organizations.

Our approach is collaborative and focused on delivering measurable results, with a strong emphasis on continuous improvement and ongoing support.
