Capabilities

  • Demand Planning
  • IMPROVE FORECAST ACCURACY. Demand Planning excels at helping your company rapidly and accurately understand future demand. The solution employs intelligent algorithmic methods and machine learning to address complex sales behavior. These techniques apply to items with short or zero history, complex seasonality, periodic sales, high volume low frequency and make-to-order products. More accurate forecasts drive improved accuracy downstream that improves profitability and visibility. Complexity is no longer an excuse for not having accurate sales forecasts.
  • Distribution Planning
  • BOOST SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE. Logistics planners are struggling every day with expedited freight events, poorly utilized transportation resources, slow moving stock, excess product and competing customer priorities. Distribution Planning provides an intuitive geo-visualization of the entire supply network enabling ease of comprehension of material flows, inventory and order exceptions. It also offers your organization a collaborative planning experience drawing on the knowledge and expertise of supply chain stakeholders both internal and external to the enterprise.

  • Production Planning
  • REDUCE MANUFACTURING COSTS AND WASTE. Production Planning provides finite capacity optimized planning to determine all manufacturing material flows across production stages subject to resource capacity, skills and tools, labor and material constraints. Intelligent optimization algorithms determine the perfect plan for your enterprise across the planning horizon enabling overtime, outsourcing and seasonal stock-builds as necessary. Production Planning allows for your manufacturing and operations to stay on pace to allow for the synchronization of up and downstream plans.
  • Procurement Planning
  • IMPROVE THE ALIGNMENT OF DEMAND WITH SUPPLY. The best possible picture of future demand naturally needs to be aligned with the best possible picture of future supply. Procurement Planning provides comprehensive and holistic supply planning to calculate optimal distribution, manufacturing and procurement plan. You cannot make something with nothing. You can coordinate material and information flow across the entire logistics network. Finite capacity distribution plans respect lead-time, batch size, ordering, shipping and receiving calendar constraints. The solution inherently supports segmentation strategies with deep supply allocation rules ensuring the right demand is served. Ensure that materials are ready to be used when needed.

  • Financial Planning
  • DRIVE COST REDUCTIONS AND PROFITABLE GROWTH. Financial Planning enables operational budgets and sales and cost targets to be defined or synchronized with the finance system. It aligns plans and measures progress of revenue, profit and supply chain costs against budgets. Your organization gains the ability to view a single version of the truth in finance or operational metrics, targets and calendars.
  • Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)
  • IMPROVE BUSINESS ALIGNMENT AND LOWER SUPPLY CHAIN COSTS. Faced with an unstable economic environment in which change is the only certainty, you need to organize and implement efficient, accurate planning processes. One issue that many companies wrestle with is that key functions in the company – Sales, Operations and Finance – often make their own plans which maximize their interests but do not necessarily align with the goals of the company. So it is critical that your entire company is involved in the decision-making process. This ensures that decisions are based on what is best for the business, rather than focusing on individual functional targets. S&OP gives you the tools to break down silos and enables you to synchronize your entire ecosystem with internal departments and your trading partners.
