Keep the best parts of Demantra. Modernize everything around it.
If your team liked Demantra because it delivered real forecasting and real planning discipline, you are not alone. Many planning teams want a similar experience outside Oracle, with faster change cycles, simpler operations, and cleaner integrations.
RoadMap Geneva is the forecasting engine behind that approach.

What Demantra users usually want to keep
The forecasting muscle
Oracle’s Demand Planning documentation highlights two things Demantra users tend to value most: collaboration across teams and a best of breed statistical forecasting engine called out as Geneva Forecasting from RoadMap Technologies.
Planner control
Overrides, versions, and a process where judgment has a real place, without turning forecasting into guesswork.
Planning that holds up in real life
Seasonality, intermittency, events, promotions, new item behavior, and hierarchy planning that supports how your business actually runs.
What teams want to leave behind
Most teams are not trying to “win a software bake-off.” They are trying to reduce friction.
Common reasons Demantra users look for a Demantra alternative:
-
long change cycles for routine improvements
-
heavy admin burden and dependency sprawl
-
brittle integrations and manual workarounds
-
forecasting that becomes deck-ready but not weekly decision-ready
-
too much time cleaning data and defending numbers
Why this is timely: the Demantra sunset conversation
Planning is moving cloud-first. Some organizations will stay inside Oracle’s cloud planning path. Others want flexibility outside the Oracle ecosystem while keeping the forecasting discipline they trust.
Either way, the planning leader’s goal is the same:
protect what works, modernize what slows you down.
A familiar foundation: Geneva forecasting in a modern system
If your team values the statistical forecasting and collaboration Demantra was known for, it is worth knowing Oracle’s Demand Planning guide explicitly calls out:
-
internet-based collaboration that supports forecast adjustments based on judgment
-
a best of breed statistical forecasting engine: Geneva Forecasting
RoadMap Geneva brings that forecasting engine into a modern operating layer designed for faster iteration, clean integration, and a planning cadence that fits how teams work today.

FAQ
Is this a Demantra replacement?
For teams that want a similar planning experience outside Oracle, yes. The focus is preserving the forecasting and planner workflow you liked, while modernizing the system around it.
Do we have to rip and replace everything?
No. Most teams start with a parallel test, then cut over by category or business unit once confidence is earned.
Can we keep planner overrides and governance?
Yes. Planner control and auditability are core requirements for serious demand planning.
