Align demand with supply through intelligent planning
Integrated forecasting and planning tools that enhance cross-functional collaboration, improve forecast accuracy, and enable confident decision-making. From demand planning to production scheduling, maintain operational alignment.
Strategic Planning
Unified view of operations with improved agility
Accurate Forecasting
Leverage historical data, market trends, and collaborative input to generate reliable demand forecasts. Improve accuracy through continuous learning and seasonal pattern recognition.
Supply-Demand Balance
Align production capacity and inventory with forecasted demand while accounting for supplier constraints, lead times, and resource availability. Minimise stockouts and excess inventory.
Scenario Planning
Model "what-if" scenarios to assess business impacts before committing resources. Evaluate different strategies, test contingencies, and support confident risk mitigation decisions.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Break down departmental silos through configurable approval workflows that ensure visibility and accountability across sales, operations, procurement, and finance teams.
Comprehensive Capabilities
Everything you need for integrated planning
Demand Planning
Generate accurate forecasts using statistical models, historical trends, market intelligence, and collaborative input from sales teams. Support demand segmentation by product, customer, region, or channel.
Supply Planning
Align production and inventory capacity with forecasted demand while respecting supplier constraints, lead times, minimum order quantities, and safety stock requirements. Optimise inventory positioning across locations.
Scenario Modeling
Create and compare multiple planning scenarios. Model demand changes, capacity constraints, supplier disruptions, and market shifts. Assess financial impact before implementing strategies.
Approval Workflows
Configurable hierarchies that route plans through appropriate stakeholders. Track approvals, maintain audit trails, and ensure accountability throughout the planning process. Support consensus-based decision-making.
Production Scheduling
Translate approved plans into actionable production schedules. Support capacity planning, resource allocation, production sequencing, and constraint management to maximise throughput and minimise changeover time.
System Integration
Seamless connectivity with ERP platforms, CRM systems, inventory management tools, and financial systems. Maintain data consistency and eliminate manual data transfer across your planning ecosystem.
Integrated Planning Process
Monthly cycle that aligns your organization
Demand Review
Sales and marketing teams review historical performance, analyze market trends, and update forecasts based on customer intelligence and promotional plans.
Supply Assessment
Operations evaluates capacity, identifies constraints, and proposes supply plans that balance inventory investment with service level requirements.
Financial Impact
Finance assesses revenue projections, inventory levels, and cash flow implications. Scenario planning identifies risks and opportunities.
Executive Approval
Leadership reviews integrated plans, resolves conflicts, allocates resources, and approves the operational plan for execution.
Execution
Approved plans cascade to production schedules, procurement orders, and resource allocation. Monitor performance against plan throughout the month.
