Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP)
Steelwedge industry-leading S&OP solutions are rapid to implement, easy to use, and powerful.

Steelwedge Sales Forecasting and Planning delivers a powerful planning and forecasting tool – enabling you to understand, anticipate, and manage customer demand across the value chain. It optimizes collaboration, collection, and rationalization of multiple forecasting inputs through a user-friendly interface combined with industry-leading statistical techniques and unlimited causal factors.
Multi-dimensional data representation supports demand planning analysis. With Steelwedge OnDemand companies can accurately model their business and increase timely internal and external communication with value chain partners, speeding time-to-market and increasing customer satisfaction.
Steelwedge automates the process of predicting and managing market demand. With increased demand accuracy Demand Planners can optimize inventory levels and drive efficient sourcing and production. Scenario planning models in Steelwedge enable you to quickly generate and track forecasts for multiple business needs – including sales, marketing, logistics and finance and then compare and reconcile differences between functional groups.
Steelwedge Supply Chain Planning helps companies achieve a high degree of customer satisfaction while working within the constraints imposed on their business. Steelwedge Supply Chain Planning is designed to provide visibility to exceptions that inevitably occur, and helps solve these exceptions in a manner that is eventually executable by the company. The executable plan that is created by Steelwedge is truly optimized and spans different divisions within the company like procurement, manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing.
A wide variety of planning workflows are supported with the ability for the company to create their own different flavor during implementation. In addition to the base plan, the user interface allows users to fine tune the plan (distribution plans, demand picture, capacity availability, etc.) to come up with the best, executable plan. Steelwedge Supply Chain Planning can support diverse business optimization goals in a wide range of industries through built-in solvers.
Product lifecycles in many industries are shrinking. The rate of new product introductions is increasing to drive new technologies or replace aging products. In such environments, the ability to effectively plan the ramp of a new product introduction becomes a critical driver to overall product profitability. Conversely, managing the end of life forecast for a retiring product is critical to minimizing inventory exposure, discounting and write-off expenses.
However, new product introduction forecasts are often based on guess work, without a systematic approach for managing the forecast relationships between new and existing versions, product models and product lines. The Steelwedge Product Lifecycle Planning (PLP) solution provides the ability to model new product forecasts and end of life forecasts based upon historical trends of like products, marketing programs and what-if scenarios.
Steelwedge Revenue & Margin Planning solutions enable finance executives to have automatic visibility into revenue and margin from an operations plan at various levels of detail, evaluate the impact of a change to Average Selling Price (ASP) or product mix on revenue and margins and provide an infrastructure to create, own and communicate transparent budget, expense and financial plans.
Understanding actual company-wide and functional performance is critical to driving achievement towards goals and proactively resolving issues. Monitoring progress towards committed plans and achieving an enterprise-wide view into financial, operations, and sales performance is often a difficult process. The Steelwedge Performance Management solution provides a configurable, real-time balanced scorecard which displays the required information to have a clear picture of how the company is performing.
