Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) Solution
Integrate S&OP processes with a unified solution for sales, operations, and finance
Volatile markets and changing demand have a direct impact on all operational functions and processes. With unified planning, forecasting and analysis across the organization, you can simplify complex processes, facilitate collaboration, and optimize value creation.
Unite and unify data sources across the organization for better S&OP
Since the dawn of digitalization, multiple software tools have been used by different departments that are involved in S&OP. This goes hand in hand with large amounts of data that are produced every day and, frequently, end up stuck in data silos. Gathering large quantities of inconsistent spreadsheets slows down your S&OP significantly. It creates a heavy burden of manual tasks for your highly skilled planners, preventing them from focusing on more strategic, value-added tasks.
Create a path for top talent to focus on strategic decisions and optimizing value creation by automating these manual tasks. Unified sales and operations planning provides the much-needed opportunity for a greater focus on strategic planning, process optimization, and better insights for S&OP.
With the Jedox solution for sales and revenue planning, we have achieved an efficient combination of different planning views and the current forecast.

Sales and Demand Planning
Always up to speed in sales and demand planning
Accurate, efficient planning is key for successful business operations and realization of corporate strategy. Achieving growth targets, especially with ever-increasing market volatility is much easier with good planning. This specifically applies to sales planning, as it is the engine that drives revenue flowing into the organization.
While demand planning is important in every step throughout the supply chain and across departments, sales planning has to be closely aligned. Actuals and projected sales figures drive demand planning, which is directly connected to other planning processes such as capacity and procurement planning. Accurate and timely sales forecasts, incentive management, CRM integration for systems such as Salesforce and advanced sales analytics help create the foundation to counter uncertainty and improve resilience.

Production Planning
Increase accuracy in workforce and machine capacity planning
In times of global acceleration and uncertainty, reliable insights are key. It is vital to know how much you can supply in a defined time frame. How many people do you need to achieve your goals? A big part of supply planning is capacity and workforce planning. What do you do when there is a sudden spike in demand? Are you able to react quickly and adjust plans to avoid downtime and align with sales and other departments in the organization?
With Jedox, you can plan and monitor:

Procurement Planning
Staying ahead of the competition with seamless procurement planning
Procurement and its planning play a crucial part in S&OP. What parts and units are needed, and when? Procurement planners require consistent and recent data they can trust when planning purchases. Without a single source of truth, this alone poses a great challenge for many organizations. Heavy reliance on spreadsheets with complex queries and exports from siloed source systems make processes slow and error prone. A unified solution integrates all relevant data from Sales, Production, Warehousing, and others.
For larger organizations with multiple buying centers, having an always up-to-date view on production actuals, plans, and forecasts is key. The same holds true for daily procurement data like prices, quality, discounts, and delivery time. This enables the creation of quality procurement plans and in-depth analytics to improve your sourcing strategy and all buying decisions, like order dates, volumes, choosing vendors, and the like.
Jedox supports better S&OP planning by:
