Problems we fixed

Problems we fixed

Sales promising unicorn volumes while ops buys horse feed. Chronic stockouts + bloated surplus living side by side. Emergency air freight eating margin. No single source of truth, so every meeting starts with “whose numbers are these?”

When this process runs, it doesnt just create reports, it unites the company and rallies the troops towards its objectives.

Why it matters

Why it matters

Why it matters

Companies with mature S&OP improve forecast accuracy ~30 % (Aberdeen) and cut inventory 10–20 % (Gartner). Integrated planning lifts perfect‑order performance to 95 %+ and slashes expedite costs 15–25 %. McKinsey links robust S&OP to 2–3 pt EBIT margin gains and up to 15 % faster revenue growth.

A single, heartbeat rhythm powering smart decisions. Less firefighting, more foresight, and a supply chain that moves in lockstep with sales.
