Demand Planning
Demand planning is a three-way tie at the top of AI discovery. Anaplan, Kinaxis, and o9 Solutions each show up in 91% of buyer queries across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, with near-identical mention volumes and universal engine visibility. Blue Yonder trails at 83% discovery share but maintains the same four-engine footprint. The category is consolidated around this quartet — no brand outside the top four cracks 72% discovery share, and the tail fragments quickly into mid-tier ERP modules and niche forecasting tools. This is a mature category where AI engines have settled on a stable shortlist.
