Smart cache component for demand chain management

摘要

Demand Chain Management (DCM) refers to a suite of analytical applications for retail business, that provides retailers with the tools they need for product demand forecasting, planning and replenishment. The reliable development and user-friendly interface of DCM applications ensures improved customer satisfaction, increased sales, improved inventory turns and significant return on investment. The present subject matter provides a self-contained reusable smart cache component for DCM development and interface. The smart cache component gives a DCM developer the ability to automatically have a configurable amount of information temporarily stored in readily available memory on an application server. The information can be retrieved in a high speed fashion without the need for additional calls to the original location of the information.
