February 18, 2014 | Brandon Underwood Survey Says: The Truth About Data, Out of Stocks, and Lost Sales A team from IntegriChain is attending ECRM Cough/Cold, Analgesics, and Allergy this week in Amelia Island, FL, and so we thought it would be worth taking a look back at the results of the Downstream Data & Buyer-Supplier Connection survey we conducted at the same conference last year. We spoke to over 50 manufacturers and asked a lot of questions about their forward supply chain. We asked things like what kind of data do you get from the channel?

February 13, 2014 | Brandon Underwood 2013 Was A Great Year for IntegriChain & Demand Network Analytics (DNA) 2013 proved to be a year of strong corporate momentum and continued growth for IntegriChain and Demand Network Analytics (DNA).

February 4, 2014 | Brandon Underwood Behind The Scenes: A Look Inside Demand Network Analytics My favorite day of the week is Monday. Yes, I said Monday. Why? Not just because Monday means free catered lunch for the entire office from one of my favorite local lunch spots, but also because I love my job and the company I work for. Working at IntegriChain is like working at a mid-sized tech company in the Silicon Valley, yet right here in my home state of New Jersey. With a stocked kitchen with snacks and drinks, the ability to wear jeans to work every day, and some of the smartest (and coolest) co-workers I could have ever imagined when I was studying for finals in college a few years ago, IntegriChain is by far the coolest place to work.
