Monitoring tools to track the performance of your demand and supply planning processes

Sales and operations planning (S&OP) provides the blueprint for the detailed manufacturing, buying, and transport plans to follow. Enterprising companies know that S&OP leaders report an average of 15% less inventory, 20% greater order fulfillment, and 33% shorter cash-to-cash cycle times. The key to their success: maximizing opportunities to deliver customer service profitably.

Infor SCM Sales and Operations Reporting monitors the accuracy and effectiveness of your demand and supply plans to provide valuable input into the S&OP process. All published demand, inventory, and supply plans are stored and compared over time, enabling you to analyze the success of your promotions, events, and new product launches—and capitalize on opportunities for improvement.
