SmartsEngine for Supply Chain Planning

Doing Supply Chain Planning within the SmartEngine Platform

Executing Comprehensive Supply Chain Planning Activity with Great Efficiency within a Business IQ Development Platform.

SmartsEngine for Supply Chain Planning is not an extension of Supply Chain Planning and S&OP/IBP functionality. It is very comprehensive supply chain planning and S&OP/IBP functionality that exists within and is executed within a business IQ development platform. SmartsEngine houses comprehensive planning modules (forecasting, demand, inventory, supply chain, resource, IBP, financial) and an advanced KPI module as base layer functionality, all of which it transforms within its overarching methodology for business IQ development.

If implemented for supply chain planning, as an enterprise conducts its supply chain processes, SmartsEngine develops the enterprise's business IQ within the scope of supply chain planning and S&OP/IBP.
