Integrated demand planning
The sales and operations plan starts with highly accurate and automated expert forecasts that “learn” over time to continually improve forecast accuracy. It then combines quantitative and qualitative inputs throughout the enterprise. This balanced approach ensures a more useable and accurate demand planning process. Lastly, forecasts are generated and managed at any level of product, channel, or geographic aggregation, and in financial as well as operational units of measure.
Advanced supply planning
Easily view inventory, backlogs, and planned supply at any level of aggregation and in any unit of measure, including cost basis. Align with cash flow and working capital requirements, providing finance stakeholders with essential insights for informed decision-making. Stakeholders will have a comprehensive view of critical information, empowering them with the data they need to optimize operations effectively.
Centralized planning & accountability
Break down silos and share goals and strategies in a single place, putting operations, sales, marketing, and finance on the same page. Facilitate efficient workflows that seamlessly connect tactical perspectives with strategic viewpoints.
Scenario planning to accelerate business responsiveness
Create and compare multiple demand-supply scenarios and easily distribute plans and key data to diverse stakeholders. Netstock Predictor IBP provides an efficient platform and makes it easier to go from annual or bi-annual planning to a monthly or weekly S&OP cadence.
