Supply Chain Planning

IBM Planning Analytics helps organisations to optimise their supply chain by presenting a single source of truth, unified across inventory management, demand planning, marketing, sales, operations, and logistics.

Unified Operations 

Often, each of these functions within an organisation are siloed, with data held in a mix of different, separate systems and spreadsheets. This presents a huge challenge to making good decisions across the entire operation. IBM Planning Analytics is one centralised platform that sits across all of the disparate sources, unifying them into one view, without the need to change any of the underlying operational systems and processes.

Logistics and inventory planning are aligned so it is clear what really drives costs and revenues. The easy scenario modeling helps to assess different potential outcomes and adjust strategies as markets change.
Predictive AI-infused forecasting and machine learning algorithms enhance demand planning, to see further into the future and quickly assemble forecasts to maximise profitability.

The Breakdown 

We recommend deployment via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provided by IBM, but Planning Analytics is also available for installation locally on your own hardware or public cloud.
