Poor communication causes bullwhip, the systematic amplification that ends either in scarcity or in excess, leading to an enormous waste of time and money and causing unnecessary environmental impact. The problem is well known, yet unresolved due to the lack of practically applicable approaches.
We offer the industry-first cross-company, multi-tier S&OP “as a service“ to connect the network. We change the capsulated demand planning focus of each company by linking network partners, contributors to a connected supply chain. This coherent platform approach is the key for active synchronization. Connected for Visibility Across.
Creation of Key improvements for all in the multi-tier network We lift this process from company-centric to the network level. Without interfering with existing local processes, we enable synchronization, leverage benefits for all tiers, and – most importantly – increase value for the end customer.

- Low onboarding barriers: Existing limits on willingness to share data and details are conceptually considered
- No technical barriers: no ERP-/APS-prerequisites, easy-to-serve interfaces
- As-a-Service-Solution, based on world-class tech-backbone w/o SaaS-licensing involved
- Our experience, our knowledge and our pragmatism - functional & technical
Synchronization in deeply staggered supply chains
In the end it’s simple
Why can we resolve multi-tier planning within the four walls of our enterprise, but we can’t in a multi-company setup? Indeed, there are good reasons why we can’t. But our pragmatic and robust approach addresses these reasons. As often in life, when it becomes complicated the answer lies in simplification. That’s the leading thought of our “Multi-tier S&OP”.
