What makes the difference in Sales & Operations Planning?
Capacities are tight, suppliers are unable to deliver, market demand is often erratic, delivery call-offs from customers are incomplete... the number of risks in the supply chain is huge!
In such a situation, it is important to harmonize the demand side and the supply side
as well as possible in order to ensure the required delivery capability
and to do so with the lowest possible inventories and low
capital commitment. The S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) function in DISKOVER is
your central tool for efficiently mapping the S&OP process. Particularly important
is to minimize the workload for all company functions involved.
- Allocation of articles in sales articles
- Setting up remote maintenance access
- Adjustment of sales figures at every hierarchy level
- Display of plan values in local currency
- Support for the entire S&OP process
- Transfer of data from any source
Sales channels and regions
DISKOVER divides physical articles into any number of sales articles, which can be differentiated according to
sales channels, key accounts or regions.
Different sales items can have different master data,
e.g. sales prices. A planning workflow ensures that
planning stages, e.g. from key account manager to regional manager to
director, run consistently and promptly one after the other.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
a personal demo, because…
… every person in sales must be able to see and edit exactly the data that concerns them with as little effort as possible
.
Otherwise the planning effort for sales will be too great and the
quality of the results will decrease.
Any viewing level
Sales items and physical items can be structured in any hierarchy
levels and according to any criteria “on the fly”.
The adjustment of sales figures can be carried out at any hierarchy level
and is aggregated upwards and disaggregated downwards
. During planning, the hierarchies can be dissolved
and restructured as required.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
a personal demo, because…
… in order to achieve a high level of planning quality, the sales department must be able to view the
sales market from different perspectives.
Money and quantity
Planned values can be displayed as sales in local currency, as sales in
Group currency or as sales quantity in basic units of measure
(units, weight, volume, etc.).
Historical sales take into account historical price changes and
future planned price adjustments are taken into account when planning future sales.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
a personal demo, because…
… target figures must be made available to the sales department in the dimension
in which it thinks.
Complete planning calculation
DISKOVER supports the entire S&OP process from the automatic
determination of statistical and AI-supported forecasts as starting values for S&OP planning to an independent MRP calculation to capacity plan values and plan values for material requirements.
Frozen planning horizons in which no adjustments may be made
can be defined. Delta planning can save the sales department a huge amount of planning effort.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
a personal demo, because…
… an S&OP process must run continuously on the software side so that planned values
are available quickly and consistently. Manually scooping data
costs valuable time and harbors a high potential for error. Planning errors in the
S&OP process are scaled through the entire value chain.
Project and campaign accounting
Projects, object business and actions can be planned in DISKOVER separately from day-to-day business
. An availability check at the touch of a button shows directly whether the
material quantities can be provided on the required dates. Prepared
actions and projects to be started can be activated with one click and thus
transferred to the operative scheduling in DISKOVER or the ERP system.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
a personal demo, because…
… careful planning must be able to differentiate clearly between day-to-day business, project
and property business as well as promotional business.
Open for all data sources
DISKOVER can automatically transfer data from any source, such as ERP systems and CRM systems and
in any format, e.g. databases, spreadsheets, csv or txt files: Databases, spreadsheets, csv or txt files, automatically
into the S&OP planning. Plan figures and other data can be exported in
different formats or sent automatically. Plan figures
can also be sent to DISKOVER by e-mail and processed automatically.
We will be happy to show you what else is possible
a personal demo, because…
… often not all the data required in an S&OP process is available in the ERP system, but it still needs to be taken into account. Since spreadsheets are an important and unavoidable tool in sales and planning, users must be able to integrate them into the overall process as easily as possible.
