More efficiency for your S&OP process through integrated planning and analysis
Do you already rely on a powerful analytics solution such as Power BI, but your planning is still done in Excel? Manual data collection, complex calculations and a lack of automation quickly lead to the limits of efficiency.
With our integrated solution, you combine analysis and planning in one system. Thanks to automated data provision, scenario simulations and optimized capacity planning, you receive more precise forecasts, transparent plan/actual comparisons and seamless control of your sales & operations process - all directly in Power BI.
Your initial situation:
- You already use an analytics solution such as Power BI.
- Your planning is still done in Excel and Excel is reaching its limits.
