Features & Capabilities
The Power of Integrated Business Planning
Impactful Planning that Considers All Stakeholders
Build a collaborative and executive-approved operating plan with buy-in from every department by implementing a S&OP process that engages different teams and creates synergies by reconciling different perspectives.
Adaptive Plan Management
Drastically reduce workload with built in monitoring of KPI data and how it is tracking to business plans. Blue Yonder will identify deviations and key exceptions, adjust configurations and trigger corrective steps using standard process playbooks in real time to best meet goals. The solution can be configured to initiate predefined processes in response to user-defined triggers so you can respond to unanticipated events quickly and strategically.
Process Orchestration
Maintain global process compliance and repeatability even when stakeholders and participants are spread out across different geographies and time zones. Deliver dependability in even the most volatile and competitive business environments.
Automated Scenario Planning
Quickly adapt forecasts with actionable insights but on rapid examination of external data feeds and influencing factors. For instance, if the sales and marketing teams are planning a new promotion to stimulate demand, S&OP can create a demand scenario to quickly analyze the supply chain constraints and contending demands. Based on this guided analysis, better decisions can be made to optimize the product mix and timing of the promotion.
