“Having a comprehensive on–demand planning platform is the single most important business process for managing risk and increasing profitability in today’s highly competitive global market,” said Mike Edenfield, president and CEO, Logility. “Demand volatility and supply variability place immense pressure on today’s complex supply chains as companies look to reduce costs while also boosting service levels. Voyager Integrated Business Planning cuts through the noise to deliver access to business scenarios that model multiple “what–if” trade–offs to help them accelerate their planning and take advantage of market opportunities before the competition.”
Voyager Integrated Business Planning is built upon three main principles: on demand scenarios and simulation, social collaboration, and a unified data model.
Scenarios and Simulations
Critical to implementing the correct course of action is understanding the options and their implications to the business. Voyager Integrated Business Planning delivers rapid interactive simulation and scenario analysis to support demand and supply balancing, segmentation, S&OP, and financial plan alignment. With the ability to proactively plan for both opportunities and challenges, companies are better prepared and able to focus resources on the activities that deliver the greatest benefit.
Social Collaboration
The context–aware supply chain requires rapid communication with and the ability to integrate data from multiple stakeholders and sources. Voyager Integrated Business Planning delivers embedded social collaboration and workflows that enables rapid planning and better decision making across the organization — finance, sales, manufacturing, distribution and supply chain — along with key customers and suppliers.
Unified Data Model
Voyager Integrated Business Planning delivers real time analysis with a unified view of sales, supply chain and financial data. This information can be presented at any level of granularity and dimension allowing organizations to understand and develop SKU–specific plans that evaluate both financial and volumetric measures. The direct tie between the operational plans and Integrated Business Planning enables organizations to respond to opportunities and risks on–demand as the situations unfold, eliminating the need for manual data input and manipulation.
