Overview
From months of data preparation to hours
Acquiring data can be time consuming, but this solution enables users to retrieve initial data in only hours. Refreshing data is done in minutes, allowing for continuous scenario modelling.
Keep network design models continuously up to date
Refresh your network design model whenever planning assumptions change. Instead of rebuilding datasets, update demand, supply, costs, or inventory from SAP IBP and rerun strategic scenarios with current planning data.
Connect operational planning with strategic network design
Bridge the gap between operational planning in SAP IBP and long-term supply chain design. Use actual planning data to evaluate strategic decisions such as facility locations, sourcing strategies, transportation flows and network resilience.
