| Product Description |
Steelwedge Executive S&OP is a decision making solution that integrates financial planning with sales and operational issues to improve operational efficiencies. Executive S&OP drives the Sales & Operations Planning process and ensures alignment between corporate strategy and operational execution. Steelwedge Executive S&OP engages all stakeholders and ensures that decisions are made in a timely and fact-based manner. The Steelwedge Executive S&OP solution incorporates financial and operating metrics, performance feedback, and simulation capabilities to ensure that the best possible decisions are made.
Sales & Operations PlanningWith both demand-side and supply-side volatility, it becomes critical to balance supply availability with the consensus demand forecast to prioritize demand orders and appropriately set customer expectations. Historically, this supply/demand balancing process has been done reactively with sales, marketing, and operations team allocating constrained products to customer orders, expediting product shipments or reconfiguring products to create the required models. Market leading companies have transformed this reactive, manual process in to a proactive sales and operations planning (S&OP) process. The S&OP process guides internal and inter-company collaboration to balance committed supply with consensus demand forecasts. Through this process a Plan of Record is created to which all functional teams execute. The Steelwedge Sales and Operations Planning solution provides the ability to configure and drive an S&OP process that allows corporate executives to agree on goals that are feasible and profitable, while improving communications, teamwork and accountability across the organization. |

| Product Description |
Steelwedge’s S&OP Sales delivers the ability to better understand, predict and manage sales and demand by automating and optimizing a collaborative Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process. Engaging multiple business functions—including Sales, Marketing, Finance and Operations—to participate in S&OP and reach a consensus demand plan remains a challenge for the majority of enterprises. While most companies have one or more functional solution to support individual views (CRM, Demand Planning, Sales Forecasting applications), few companies have a single solution that compares, reconciles and combines the different forecasts into a published consensus forecast that drives S&OP.
Steelwedge’s S&OP Sales module delivers the power of a collaborative planning platform via a familiar Excel User Interface to help enterprises achieve a more accurate sales and demand plan that improves the quality of the consensus forceast and optimizes company performance. |

| Product Demo | |
| Product Description |
While most companies have an inventory and supply plan solution for operations, few have the ability to view real-time forecast changes and assumptions from Sales, Operations, Marketing, and Finance in a single, shared environment. As a result, updates to operational plans are typically delayed, leading to inventory imbalances which may significantly impact your bottom line.
The Steelwedge S&OP Operations module accelerates S&OP by providing a single solution for creating and/or viewing an inventory and supply plan, consolidating the supply plan with the sales and demand plan, considering various demand-supply balancing scenarios and performing Rough Cut Capacity Planning. |
