Optimizing Sales & Operational Planning (S&OP) is, in today’s demand-driven markets, key to enable companies to reach their business goals.
Sales & Operations Planning
Value creation across the planning horizon
How to meet sales forecasts?
In order to meet sales forecasts, a company needs to rely on a structure that supports a cooperative management of planning processes for inventory, demand, supply and production, by granting each function ample visibility and the power to intervene at all other operating levels.

S&OP process efficiency depends on the efficiency of the chosen technology.
