Align Sales, Supply Chain and Operations Around One Plan
Use the powerful, unified database of forecasts, actual sales, reporting, and dashboards created by BluePlanner to assist in the sales and operation planning (S&OP) process. Alongside the bottom-up forecast created by account teams, BluePlanner creates a parallel forecast. To this, adjustments can be added for dynamics not accounted for in the bottom-up plan. The result is the sales team's input to the consensus forecast.
IBP can also integrate other important data elements like a Demand Planning forecast and On Order volume. These metrics are then incorporated into reporting for advanced analysis. More broadly, it facilitates the ongoing collaboration across sales & supply chain teams to optimize volumes and deliver against overall business objectives.
