At a glance
What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
OMP dominates demand planning software AI visibility with an 87.5% visibility score, more than three times higher than the next closest brands, Kinaxis and Blue Yonder, which both sit at 25.0%. The category average visibility is just 7.5%, making OMP's position an extreme outlier. This concentration at the top means most brands in the category are effectively invisible in AI-generated responses, and the gap between OMP and the rest of the field is wide enough to represent a structural disadvantage for competitors.
A clear divergence exists between being named and being cited. OMP leads on visibility at 87.5% yet holds a 0.0% citation rate, meaning Google AI Mode describes it without linking to its domain. Anaplan and RELEX Solutions show the inverse pattern: Anaplan has 12.5% visibility but a 25.0% citation rate, and RELEX has 0.0% visibility yet also earns a 25.0% citation rate. This means Anaplan and RELEX are trusted enough for AI to link to them, even though they appear in fewer responses overall.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all 20 brands in this category, with no brand recording a top engine other than Google AI Mode. The sources Google AI Mode anchors on for this category include review platforms (G2, Gartner, SoftwareReviews), community platforms (Reddit, YouTube), and notably the brand domains of Anaplan and RELEX Solutions directly. The presence of monday.com in the top cited sources is an anomaly given its absence from the ranked brand list, suggesting AI pulls adjacent SaaS content into demand planning responses.

Sources AI engines trust in this category

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer.
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence — different from being named.
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps.
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically.
