Sales & Operations Planning

85% of companies in the world do not know what S&OP is.

A company is like a living organism. The movement of one part affects the others. However, each department of the company has its own goals, which differ from the rest of the company.

In production they need to have an optimally utilized line, in marketing they need a sufficient market share, in sales they need to meet their turnover targets and in finance they are interested in the final profit. Often internal processes are not well established, communication is poor, there are no functional tools, and flexibility is lacking. Individual departments simply must not operate in isolation. We can help you to make your company a flexible and modern company with Sales and Operations Planning. The goal is stable, workable plans with customer deadlines, high utilization of production equipment and people. And of course supported by appropriate information systems and tools.

In simple terms, this means that we design and implement the S&OP process, deliver a software tool to support the process and give you operational support to roll it out in your organization.
