What does the Forecasting & Demand Sensing Agent actually do?

Improves forecast accuracy with sell-through and external signals. It is triggered when: weekly forecast cycle. The agent runs against AccountForecast, Account, ProductItem on Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud.

Is the Forecasting & Demand Sensing Agent fully autonomous?

No. Every Headless 360 agent ships with explicit human-in-the-loop checkpoints. For this agent: Planner approves any +/- 15% adjustment / Final S&OP sign-off remains with planning lead. Reviewers can override, edit or reject any action.

Which Salesforce edition do I need?

This agent runs on Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud with Agentforce enabled. CRMTeam validates licensing, data model and security configuration as part of the build session.

What's a realistic ROI?

10–15 point MAPE improvement → lower inventory cost. ROI varies with volume and current process maturity — we benchmark your baseline during discovery.

How long until this is live in production?

Most Manufacturing clients see a pilot for the Forecasting & Demand Sensing Agent live in 4–8 weeks, with org-wide rollout following the pilot KPI review.

How is pricing structured?

CRMTeam works on outcome-based pricing — a fixed scope tied to the agent's KPI ("Forecast accuracy (MAPE)") rather than hourly rates. You get a written statement of work after the build session.
