Steelwedge Software: Sales Planning and Performance Management for companies seeking to drive an Executive Sales & Operations planning (S&OP) process that dramatically improves corporate performance.

Steelwedge Software is the leading innovator in the emerging field of Sales Planning and Performance Management (SPPM), driving an Executive Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process to create, validate and synchronize revenue plans, align them with business and financial targets, and gain executive visibility and control over enterprise performance.

Facilitate Planning, Execution and Performance

Maintaining sales force effectiveness, ensuring strong margins, supporting high order fill-rates, avoiding large inventory write-offs, and managing regulatory compliance require manufacturers to formulate strategic, tactical and supply plans based on a realistic view of supply and demand. That’s why in today’s uncertain economic environment, sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes have become business critical.

While millions of dollars in SCM, ERP and CRM system investments have helped improve efficiencies within each area of the organization, these systems were not designed for improving business performance and facilitating sales revenue planning. As a result, most companies still rely on spreadsheets to support executive-level planning, while source data remains buried in enterprise systems. Yet spreadsheets lack the data management, analytics and process automation needed to reconcile and align functional plans and drive executive decision-making.

Create an Enterprise Plan of Record

Steelwedge Software does what spreadsheets and enterprise systems cannot – we enable business Executive S&OP planning for the demand-driven enterprise by providing visibility, collaboration and performance management across sales, marketing, finance, and supply chain operations. Our Executive &OP solution helps manufacturers accurately assess market demand, clearly align their customer, product, inventory, production and business plans and closely monitor operational, financial, and sales performance.
