Software for sales planning (S&OP)
Sales planning is important for the success of a company. Both trading and manufacturing companies need reliable planning figures. The prerequisites for this are standardized communication and the sensible storage and analysis of all relevant data. Intelligent sales planning solutions from REMIRA support you in this.
Integrated tools for optimal planning
Gone are the days of confusing documents and emails. Spreadsheet tools such as Excel or Numbers quickly reach their limits when it comes to planning your sales. Regularly searching for, collecting and organizing all the information also takes a lot of time. REMIRA tools for Sales & Operations Planning support you in communicating with purchasing, sales, production and other departments and provide automatic forecasts and target figures to help you achieve your company goals. This gives you optimum sales planning for your company and you benefit from numerous advantages:
- Reliable planning of sales volumes and sales figures across all channels
- Consistent communication thanks to a central planning tool
- You recognize potential for further increasing your sales.
- Intelligent forecasting enables efficient use of your resources
- Clear monitoring of the relevant key performance indicators (KPIs)
- No manual creation of Excel lists and insecure sending of sensitive company data by email
- Increase customer satisfaction through better availability of goods.
React quickly and flexibly
The demands on the management of your company are constantly increasing. The amount of information that a sales planner has to process is high and can no longer be managed manually. For many companies, sales planning is still based on working with Excel. But especially when unforeseeable events occur, such as the recent corona crisis, you can quickly throw all previous planning overboard. Our solutions, on the other hand, support you in making quick decisions and implementing new, adapted strategies that would only be possible manually with a great deal of time and a high error rate. While some people are still rummaging through Excel spreadsheets, you benefit from automatic daily forecasts. You therefore achieve maximum transparency and can quickly adjust all plans so that you do not miss your annual target and satisfy your customers at all times.
Centralized data and intelligent forecasts for every ERP
The analysis of historical data on sales and orders is made possible by the AI and big data approach of our software solutions. The software receives the data simply through our connectivity tools, which allow us to easily connect to any ERP system - whether SAP, Microsoft or any other ERP/merchandise management system from your preferred provider. Thanks to our REMIRA SAP connector, you don't even need an external SAP service provider to connect to your SAP system.
Sales planning as a prerequisite for successful supply chain management
Sales planning is the starting point for operational planning in the company, as it determines how many goods are to be sold in a certain period of time. Large amounts of data with important information and communication difficulties between the individual departments are particularly problematic in this process. Excel and the on-board tools of your ERP quickly reach their limits. The aim must be to bring together all information holistically and across departments. This is the only way to gain an overview of the actual opportunities and future requirements.
Sales & Operations Planning as a holistic solution
Sales and operations planning describes a continuous process for balancing demand and supply. All areas of the company (sales, marketing, development, production, logistics, etc.) are networked through a continuously recurring process and thus achieve reliable corporate planning that continuously adapts different areas of the company and networks the individual plans with each other. The aim is a holistic, cross-departmental process that provides a valid database and allows those involved to make reliable and quick decisions.
A Sales & Operations solution helps with strategic budget planning and shows different planning scenarios. This allows you to plan, forecast and schedule your sales as accurately as possible. Sales planning enables you to increase the availability of goods and delivery capacity while simultaneously reducing workload, surplus and logistics costs.
